Recipe: No-Potato Mashed Potatoes

No Potato Mashed Potatoes

No Potato Mashed Potatoes, served with some nice midsummer short ribs cooked in stout.

No-Potato Mashed Potatoes are another creation from the laboratory of the irrepressible Dr. Ludwig. They provide a pleasant paleo base for whatever stew or gravy you want to pour on top when you’re avoiding straight carbs. You can taste the cauliflower and beans but the flavor is mild and will complement whatever you serve it with. Makes about 8 servings.

Ingredients:
1 medium cauliflower
1 can (approx 14 ounces) cannellini or other white beans, drained, or 1 ¾ c cooked beans made from dried
2 T olive oil or butter
¾ t Kosher salt
¼ t ground pepper

Method: core the cauliflower and cut into chunks. Steam until the stems are tender, maybe 20-30 minutes. Drain and add drained beans, oil and spices. Mix with an immersion blender (or use a potato masher) to the consistency of coarsely mashed potatoes. Serve hot.

    The beans did something extra. Not a standard butter and cream mashed potato simulation.

      Thanks for trying! We have a personal aversion to the aroma of steamed cauliflower, but it disappears when the dish is sauced. Had leftovers last night and they were even better than the first day.
