If you're looking for an alternative (read: low carb) to potatoes, have you tried mashed cauliflower? This side dish pairs well with the Spanish Pot Roast in that includes pimento stuffed green olives. Yes, you read that correctly!
I'll go on record as being a non-fan of cauliflower. But this recipe changed all that. I could have eaten the entire batch myself. It was that good!

1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1/4 cup chopped Manzanilla olives (pimento stuffed green olives)
2 T. unsalted butter
salt and white pepper to taste
chopped fresh chives (optional)
Steam cauliflower and garlic in a steamer basket set in a pot of boiling water until softened, 8 - 10 minutes.
Purée cauliflower mixture in a food processor, scraping down sides as needed; transfer to a bowl.
Stir olives and butter into purée. Season purée with salt and pepper and garnish with chives.

ReplyDeleteI wasn't a cauliflower fan either until I tried this!
