My mother has been recently trying a lot of varieties of foods and diets that I would normally shy away from (seriously, don’t get me started on the “paleo” diet), but she really inspired me to use up some of the excess veg I got in my bountiful basket in new and inventive ways. I also have a cousin that’s constantly looking for alternatives for some of her carb-heavy favorites, such as mashed potatoes. Also, if you’re looking for a way to sneak heaps of vegetable servings into your kids diets without them protesting then this is the way to go.

Instructions

  1. Small 111360 2f2015 10 06 143437 img 7699

    Cut your head of lettuce into florets, then add them to a pot of salted boiling water and allow to cook for 10 minutes. If they’re not quite turning translucent by then give them a few more minutes.

    Then add your cauliflower and your oil to the bowl of a food processor and pulse. Add your water in tablespoons until all gone and the cauliflower reaches the consistency you were looking for. You might have to stir it with a spoon occasionally. Once you’ve reached the right consistency season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
