Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Spoons and Cauliflower Mash


 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date!  The theme is 'Spoons' and here is my ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2").

For the Dinner Date, I made some cauliflower mash using my blender. 




1 large cauliflower cut into florets
1 potato peeled and quartered (optional)
2 tbs Greek yogurt
1 tbs dijon mustard
1/4 c grated parmesan cheese
5-6 cloves garlic minced
2 tbs unsalted butter
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp dried chives

Boil the cauliflower and potato (if using) in salted water for 20-25 mins until fork tender.  Blend in blender until finely mashed.  Transfer to a bowl.  Saute garlic in butter.  Mix it into the bowl of cauliflower with parmesan, salt, pepper, paprika, chives, Greek yogurt.  Enjoy!

Cute spoon and hmmm, sounds yummy. I just have right now a cauliflower-burger (not that yummy, bought at the grocery).

The spoon in your art today works perfectly with your mash. Hope it's been a good day so far.

Looks just like my wooden spoon in my kitchen LOL ... you seem to be able to create almost anything :) Your mash sounds good and a nice change of pace at the dinner table. You have a lot of interesting recipes and this one is a bit less spicey than many of your others :) Enjoy the Spring ... it is finally here including some serious storms. But, I love the fresh air and the warm breezes ...

My husband loves cauliflower but just recently told me he doesn't care for mashed potatoes - wonder if I could fool him with this?

The cauliflower mash sounds very good. I'm going to try that next time cauliflower is on sale, thank you! ♥
