FauxTatoes - Roasted Garlic Mashed Cauliflower Ingredients

1 Head cauliflower cut into florets	2 teaspoons hot sauce
2 tablespoons garlic roasted	1/4 cup Milk 1% as required
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt	1/4 cup Potato flakes -optional
1/2 teaspoon black pepper	1 tablespoon Margarine - corn oil

Instructions for FauxTatoes - Roasted Garlic Mashed Cauliflower

Roast garlic in 350 ovens for about 40 minutes, covered with foil.

Bring large pot of water to boiling. Add a dash of salt. Boil cauliflower for about 7-10 minutes or until completely cooked through but not mushy. Drain well. Alternatively you can steam the cauliflower until tender if you wish.

In food processor or blender, add drained cauliflower and remaining ingredients. Puree only until smooth adjusting consistancy with a bit of extra milk or potato flakes as needed. The potato flakes give it just enough of that "potato" flavor to make it nice without adding too many carbs or calories.

For a "gourmet" presentation try putting this into a pastry bag and piping it onto the plate through a star tip. Garnish with chopped chives, parsley, or a dash of paprika.

I was really hopeful, but it still tasted like cauliflower! Sigh.

I got major kudos from the mister for this one. I'd like to try it again to try to achieve a thicker consistency, but it was really delicious. Add more garlic for taste!
