Cauliflower Mashed “Potatoes”

Healthy Recipe by Dani Spies, HHC, AADP, Health & Food Coach and Fitness Trainer
Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:
1 head cauliflower, cored and roughly chopped
1 small or ½ medium onion, peeled and quartered
2 cloves garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons Earth Balance (or butter… whatever you have)
1 (5.3-ounce) container plain, fat-free Greek yogurt
1 4 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

Method:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. (If you are interested, you can boil your cauliflower in some chicken broth for a bit of extra flavor.) Add cauliflower and cook for about 8 minutes or until fork tender. Drain.
In a food processor, blend onion and garlic. Add cauliflower, Earth Balance, yogurt, cheese, salt and pepper and blend some more. You want the finished product to be like a thick purée.
