Does anyone know how to make healthy cauliflower mash?!
I've been watching You Are What You Eat on BBC America, and Gillian McKeith often shows her clients recipes that include a "cauliflower mash!." I've seen some recipes for it online, but a lot of them include ranch dressing, lots of butter, or some kind of cream, but that doesn't strike me as being the "Gillian" way, especially since it's offered as a healthier alternative to mashed potatoes!. Are there any ways to make it lighter!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Millet mash

If you are a potato addict and are missing your buttery and milky mashed white potatoes, then this dish is going to make your day!. Too many white potatoes in your diet can have an acidifying effect on your body, due to the fast energy glucose release that they cause!. Millet, by contrast, supports the digestive organs, helps to improve nutrient uptake and aids in the removal of unwanted excess acid from years of poor eating!. To top it all, it also helps inhibit the growth of fungus and nasty bacteria!.
Ingredients
Serves 4
100g millet
1 pinch of sea salt
1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 cauliflower, cut into small florets
Method
Wash the millet and drain well!. Place in a medium-sized pan of water, add the salt and bring to the boil!. Lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes!.
Place the onion in a medium-sized pan with the cauliflower and enough water to cover!. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 4-5 minutes!. Remove from the heat, drain and return to the pan!. Mash with a potato masher!.
Drain the millet and mix through the mashed cauliflower and onion mixture!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Boil it in chicken broth with some onions, garlic powder and black pepper!. When it is done, drain, then use a immersion blender to chop it into a mash consistancy!. Season with a dry butter substitute like Molly McButter!.
You could do 1/2 potatoes and 1/2 Cauliflower and make a CaliCannon!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
