Cauliflower mash

Cauliflower isn't one of my favorite vegetables. I never buy it because I haven't ever found a way to cook it that makes it taste appetizing. I came across a recipe the other day that intrigued me so I decided to give it a try. This would be a great replacement for classic mashed potatoes, similar in texture and taste but without all of the heavy starches. This dish turned out very well! One consumer raved: "I normally HATE substitutions. When I hear 'Tofurkey' I don't think 'Oh great! a delicious low calorie alternative!' I think about the delicious roasted turkey that I could be eating compared to the gray matter that is being served, and then there is no recovery... No matter how good the alternative tastes, I am usually disappointed. Not with the Cauliflower mash, its delicious!"
