Cauliflower puree is a big hit right now, especially with all the buzz about low carb diets. Cauliflower is abundant and inexpensive and you can find it at any grocer during any month of the year. Cauliflower being a cruciferous vegetable is loaded with vitamins and antioxidants and is highly recommended by nutritionists.
What makes Cauliflower Puree a great side dish is that is has tons of flavor and you can add other ingredients to the puree to compliment any dish. In this recipe, I use Greek yogurt to add creaminess, but you can omit it if you are lactose intolerant. Fresh herbs, cheese or dried powders like curry make great add-ins as well. This recipe is delicious and pairs well with my Turkey Meatloaf or Chicken with Mushroom Pan Sauce Recipe.
