"Magic Mashed Potatoes" (Cauliflower)

Steak & "Magic Mashed Potatoes"
The star of this show is what looks like naughty mashed potatoes but is really a gorgeous cauliflower surprise.

Ingredients:
Cauliflower (I use frozen bags. Easier & less expensive than fresh)
2-4 tsp olive oil
Sea Salt + Black Pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder or fresh crushed garlic (more or less or none at all to taste)
White Pepper and Herb Salt (like Mrs Dash or Herbamare)
Optional: 1 oz milk
Optional: 2 tsp horseradish (I use from a tube. I think this is mandatory, as it gives a little kick and helps make the cauliflower taste transform into a more rounded gourmet mashed potato flavor)

Instructions:
1. Roast cauliflower until cooked at 200-210 C for about 10-15 minutes depending on your oven. You can also boil it, but the taste will not be as rich as roasting. I recommend roast!
 2. Add 1 oz nonfat milk to a blender or food processor
 3. Add in the cauliflour and smash it down with a fork.
 4. Add 1-4 teaspoons Olive Oil
 5. Add sea salt/ pepper to taste. (I use herbamare spicy, white pepper, black pepper, and rose pepper)
 6. Add other spices as desired. If available, add 1 teaspoon Imitation Butter Flavor
 7. Blend until desired consistency. Both creamy and chunky versions are both excellent.
 8. Add fresh parsley for garnish I have also made this using both cauliflower and broccolli which makes a different and unique new taste that you will come to crave.

OTHER ITEMS IN THE PHOTO:
1. Steak  (I just threw a nice steak on our bbq flavored with sea salt and mixed pepper (black, white, green, pink, chili)
2. Grilled eggplant.  (I just sliced an eggplant, then sprayed with olive oil and dusted with chili, salt & pepper.  Roasted on the BBQ with the steak.)
3. Grilled Bell Peppers (cut bell pepper in half, sprayed with olive oil.  Roasted on BBQ with steak and eggplant.  Cut into strips and served on eggplant.)


NOTE TO IDEAL PROTEIN USERS:
The 1oz milk is from the milk allowed for your daily coffee.
NON-IDEAL PROTEIN TIP:
If you are not on Ideal Protein, but want to enjoy a lower carb alternative to potatoes with this recipe, you can add heavy cream instead of milk and use 1/8 to 1/4 cup for extra creamy "potatoes".  These are good enough to serve to non-dieting guests!  (Atkins friendly)
