I am trying to follow a low carb diet, however, I just absolutely love potatoes.  Unfortunately potatoes are about the worst vegetable to eat when you are on a low carb diet because the potato basically converts to pure sugar when you digest it.

When I say I love potato, then mashed potatoes are probably at the top of my list of favourite potato dishes.  Cauli-mash is a fantastic alternative to mashed potato with any dish where it is required.  I even make Cottage Pie with this.

If you are looking for a similar alternative, another one of my favourite’s is Parsnip Puree – see my recipe here>>>

Ingredients

  • 1kg Cauliflower with stem, cut into florets
  • 1 cup raw Cashews
  • 3 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tsp soft butter

Instructions

  1. Fill a medium pot with about an centimetre of water and set a steamer basket inside. Cover and bring the water to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower to the basket and steam for 12-15 minutes. It should be soft so that you can mash it with a fork.
  2. While the cauliflower is steaming, put the cashews a container and cover completely with the boiling water. Let is stand for at least 15 minutes. This will soften the cashews.
  3. When done put the steamed cauliflower to a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl. Using another bowl that is slightly smaller than the strainer, press the bowl into the cauliflower to press excess liquid from the cauliflower. Discard the liquid and set the cauliflower aside.
  4. Discard the water from the cashews and blitz in a blender until you have a smooth paste.
  5. Add the strained cauliflower, garlic powder, butter and salt to the cashes in the blender and blitz until smooth and well combined with the cashew paste.
  6. Serve immediately.
