For those of us who do not have a food processor, we can just mash the cauliflower like we used to mash our mashed potatoes. Loved your video and now have food processor on my wish list.
Your videos are so well done. Perfectly organized, just enough words spoken, great camera work...I mean really very well done. You make it all look so easy. I am subscribing because I found your style to be so helpful. I bought an Instant Pot and can't wait to try your recipes! Thanks!
I do most of the cooking in our house. Earlier today my wife said to me "I really fancy bangers and mash with baked beans for dinner tonight". (For those not in England that's sausages, mashed potatoes and baked beans.) At this point we had already been out meat shopping so we had some great butchers sausages, but hadn't done the veg shopping as we had put that off to tomorrow, which meant we had no potatoes :( I did however have half a cauliflower left over from yesterdays dinner and suggested we had Mashed Cauliflower. I know my wife eats cauliflower, but to my horror she exclaimed "I don't like mashed cauliflower!!!" She didn't want to go to the shops and buy potatoes and so she reluctantly agreed to try Mashed Cauliflower. I looked up a few RU-vid videos, Gordon Ramsay (I like his stuff) a few others and then came across your video for MC. This is the first time I have made MC and it looked just like Mashed Potatoes. I plated up the meal, gave my wife her plate and she looked at the offering, smiled and said "Gosh that looks just like mashed potatoe!: She tried some and said "Wow, I really like that!!!" Short story long, well done Elizabeth, looks like I get to live another day :) Subscribed to your channel, going to try the meat loaf recipe next, as I've not made that before either.
Noticed you have a pressure cooker put the whole cauliflower in with 1 and 1/2 cups water or broth and cook for 5 minutes quick pressure release sit cauliflower on trivet love your recipe
I am going to try this this weekend. Using the cream cheese, you can get different flavor cream cheese like say, jalapeno. Spice it up a bit. Maybe melt cheese on top.
@@ElizabethOurPaleoFamily Well, I gave it a try. Used the cream cheese with chive and onion. Turned out great. We have a kitchenaid stand mixer. That did not work out. Then I pulled out my Ninja chopper/mixer which I use for frozen margaritas and they came out perfect. Thanks for your recipe and helping me to find an alternative to my mashed potato cravings.
@@patrickgrogg607 So glad it worked out and satisfied that craving! I agree that you really can't just mix mashed cauliflower. It has to be blended to get that creamy texture. Thanks for taking time to comment.
It's a kitchen aid - very old! I love it and have never had any trouble with it. I tried to find one like it to link for you, but they all look so different now! It came with all sorts of different blades and accessories. I've definitely gotten my money's worth out of it through the years. I believe it was around $200.
I like the way you blended this video with the instant pot meatloaf video. You're going to force me to stop resisting and buy an instant pot. I've had one on my wish list for months but I'm waiting for the Amazon summer sale to catch the best price. I have no idea why you don't have more subscribers. I can't be the only one that needs step by step for new recipes. I'm a very picky eater and don't care for onions; I do definitely cook with onions so I'm going to try your meatloaf but maybe all beef. I'm not convinced on the ground turkey. Oh what the heck, if the neighbors and I don't like it we have 5 dogs between us and they already eat better than some people. Time to catch up on your videos, thanks for posting them. It's Memorial Day 2019 and I'm ready to try new things.
Thanks for your kind comment! I think you'll love the Instant Pot once you get comfortable with it. Watch lots of my videos. :) And regarding the subscribers, I agree, I should have more - forward to all your friends and encourage them to subscribe. 😉
Add more garlic; use Pecorino Romano or Parmesan instead of cream cheese, use olive oil; add some onion or onion powder also; more potato-like, less cauliflower like; never going to be perfect, get used to that lol; if you can't eat potatoes at all, it can be satisfying though
I would add 1 large russet potatoe . I usually have no problem cheating on a diet , I prefer a healthy mix of healthy diet with a slice of the copy , this way I don't feel deprived of a guilty pleasure and I ask myself , will my health suffer ? not that much .
Have you tried adding garlic cloves with the cauliflower as it's boiling? I saw in a different youtube channel how they did this and added hwc to the recipe along with salt and pepper and it tastes delicious!
That's a great idea and it would work just fine. I haven't done it simply because we don't like that strong of a garlic flavor - I like just a hint of garlic in my mashed "potatoes." You could add as many garlic cloves as you would enjoy.
I’m ok with it I miss my potatoes but there’s too much of Potassium in them so have to cook healthy I didn’t have a food processor so I was mashing them like potatoes but it still wasn’t smooth so I used my mixer then it worked but I need to get a food processor if I’m going to continue using cauliflower if it wasn’t for my health problems I would still use the potatoes
I do think it just takes time to adjust. I missed my potatoes too, but now I love mashed and riced cauliflower. But I do still eat potatoes from time to time. They are a real food and totally ok! I highly recommend these small food processors. They can do so much and are very affordable. You just might have to work in batches, but that's not a big deal most of the time. I have this one: amzn.to/2IEBC4I
I've made mashed cauliflower lots of different ways and it's watery no matter what. I think if people don't expect it to taste like mashed potatoes, it's really good and satisfying. It does take getting used to.
I steam it too in a steamer and your absolutely right but I still light cook it and then smash the old fashion way I feel the process makes it water again and I don’t add anything, because I’m a type 2 Fataas I will try heavy whipping cream to keep it thick never thought of adding whipping cream
@@luisvilla799 I honestly can't remember what I did in this video, but it does help if - after steaming - you put the cauliflower back in the pan, whether on the stove or the Instant Pot and and cook off at least all the surface moisture. I usually turn the burner on medium or the IP on sauté normal and stir the cauliflower around for 1-2 minutes.
You need to fix that annoying squeeky oven door ! What brand is that oven so I make sure NOT to buy it ! that oven door sounds like your stepping on your dog! Other than that, good video !
Nope, sorry Bob, but you don't lose ALL the nutrients when you boil. In fact, boiling and steaming have about the same effect. Every single cooking method reduces the nutrition to some point, but you are far better off eating vegetables in any way than not at all. Thanks for your comment.
@@gummybear41283 I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. :) I definitely think you're better off eating vegetables prepared anyway than potato chips or a candy bar.
@@gummybear41283 did smthn crawl up your ass? Why so damn bitter? If you disagree make your own damn video and shut the hell up. Do you make a habit of correcting ppl so *You're* always right? There are ways of suggesting things without being an ass. Maybe try being nicer to ppl, you might make new friends.
