I know this may sound crazy but I have never eaten or made cauliflower mash lol, it’s all the rage I know, I must try it!
ReplyDeleteI love cauliflower mash in all variations! Valerie
ReplyDeleteYum!
ReplyDeleteHope you had the best Mother's Day ever.
Love these ideas, I have had it instead of pizza crust and it wasn't too bad :)
ReplyDeleteExcelentes recetas. Tomo nota!
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
I just made some today, love it!
ReplyDeleteGood stuff!! I never thought I'd fall in love with cauliflower. Thanks for these suggestions, Jan :) We've been looking for an excuse to enjoy it more often.
ReplyDeleteI love to munch on raw cauliflower.
ReplyDeleteCould these recipes be made in a food processor?
We do eat a lot of cauliflower and really enjoy it in all the ways you suggest. My favourite is cauliflower cheese.
ReplyDeleteDina and I need to eat more C'flower
ReplyDeleteLove cauliflower with butter! Very tasty!
ReplyDeleteI didn't think I'd like mashed Cauliflower as well as I do mashed Potatoes ---but I DO.... It's delicious... We season ours with some sour cream and green onions and chives.... YUMMMMMMM....
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Hugs,
Betsy
I think I am allergic to this one as I never can eat it. I haven´t eaten it since I was a child.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! We eat a lot of cauliflower but have never mashed it. These would be perfect side dishes.
ReplyDeleteNice and flavourable.
ReplyDeleteThis is the one veggie I can't get Himself to eat )-:
ReplyDeleteYum. Our cauliflowers have hit obscene prices at the moment so they are off my menu. I hope they return soon.
ReplyDelete...lots of choices!
ReplyDeleteI replaced cauliflower for potatoes before and no one knew the difference. It's much healthier than potatoes, too.
ReplyDeleteLove cauliflower and these are some great new ways to serve it.
ReplyDeleteThat just might work!! Thanks
ReplyDeleteThat could work for even me!!
ReplyDeleteI tried this not too long ago and we didn't care for mashed cauliflower. I'll have to stick with my real mashed potatoes. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of mashed cauliflower but I bet it is delicious. I will have to try this! Add a little cheese and it sounds spectacular. Thanks for sharing. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteMy mother would make it with a white sauce.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is an eye opener! Thank you for the information and recipes!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried cauliflower mash but I would really like to. These suggestions are really great. I will choose one and see how it turns out!
ReplyDeleteI'm taking a few minutes to go online while dinner cooks - and there is a cauliflower mash happening with garlic and cream - like an alfredo sauce. These ones you've featured also sound delicious!
ReplyDeleteMustard does seem to enhance cauliflower but I've never tried curry. We both love cauliflower soup and use chicken broth instead of dairy in it as my husband can't handle lactose. And about once a year I make Dinah Shore's Cauliflower Pie, two of them. One with cheddar cheese for me and goat cheese for him. But they do have a potato crust.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas!
ReplyDelete: )
Look good suggestions for the cauliflower.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, the cheesy one I will try for sure!!
ReplyDeleteThese are great new ways for me to get in some cauliflower, and I thank you! Hugs...RO
ReplyDeleteLa suelo poner primero hervida y una vez en su punto, revuemtas con huevo. Así las ponía mi madre.
ReplyDeleteBesos
I used cauliflower and even turnips to make a mash and it was good.
ReplyDeleteHi Jan,
ReplyDeleteCauliflower cheese is one of my favourites and always works so well with a meal.
Hope all is well with you and you must be enjoying that spring will be there in your world.
Happy Wednesday
Hugs
Carolyn
Oh I say....curried cauliflower, that will be on the menu tomorrow.xxx
ReplyDeleteI love mashed cauliflower, usually put cheese on it, but will try with mustard and curry too :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jan
Jan - thanks for these suggestions. I would like to eat more cauliflower, but I find it a bit bland. This will help!
ReplyDeleteYum.. thank you for reminding us about all the fun ways to enjoy cauliflower.
ReplyDelete:-)
these look delicious - we are always talking about trying cauliflower mash potatoes -

Hello Susan
The recipes featured here were all made using a saucepan. However, there are quite a few recipes available where you can use a food processor, this one for example

Thank you so much Jan! Great post!! Truly appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the suggestions on ways to eat and prepare cauliflower.
Cheese may be one of my favorite ways. have a great day!
Some good ideas for a cauliflower hater there Jan. That's me as you may remember. the mustard might be best for me but I may have to add extra mustard and curry powder. Have a good weekend down there but I don't think the weather is warming just yet.
ReplyDeleteI love all vegetables and fruit...and eat lots of both...both are regular parts of my daily intake.
ReplyDeleteThese are all delicious and I am anxious to prepare each of them for us, so thanks a lot.
