Cauliflower-Potato Mash
I just got done making Cauliflower-Potato Mash from "The Garden of Eating." Holy cow, but it's tasty. Although I'm a fan of cauliflower, I was the teensiest bit skeptical of the recipe, but I think even my niece and nephew would eat it. I didn't have any nutmeg handy, so I substituted allspice instead, which worked wonderfully.
| 1 cup Whole Foods vegetarian chicken broth (1 tbsp of powder, I like it strong) | 45 |
| Yukon Gold potatoes, 10.5 oz | 231 |
| Cauliflower, 32 oz | 224 |
| 3/4 teaspoon sea salt | |
| 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk | 35 |
| 2 tablespoons butter | 200 |
| 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper | |
| 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice | |
| Total calories | 735 |
The recipe made 4.5 cups of mash, so that makes 163 calories per 1 cup serving. That's perfectly fine for a comfort food dish.
Hm. Now I've opened up a can of coconut milk and only used 1/4 of it. That leads me to my next entry: improvised curried lentils.
