Cauliflower Mash with Roasted Chicken and Steamed Broccoli
Cauliflower can be cooked alone, as I did here, or with other white vegetables such as potato, parsnip, or turnip. Cauliflower is a low carb replacement for mashed potatoes. I serve Cauliflower Mash with Cremini Mushroom Meat Loaf and with Coconut Curry (Chicken (seen below) or Fish) and with Roasted Chicken (seen above)

Nina, this cauliflower mash is delicious–really great flavor, different from mashed potatoes. The two of us finished the whole cauliflower head tonight–too good not to take seconds (thirds)… 🙂 This would be an interesting alternative at Thanksgiving for the usual mashed potatoes–thanks! Yum!
Isn’t it a surprise!I made it twice last week! I have eaten similar recipes mixed with parsnip and or potato Cauliflower Mash is much easier and and lighter!
