Cauliflower mash
Thick creamy cauliflower mash, a great low carb substitute for mashed potatoes
If you struggle to tolerate potatoes, or even higher carb root vegetable alternatives such as carrot & swede mash, then you need to try cauliflower mash.
Thick creamy mash but without the carbs! Perfect for topping pies, eating with sausages, or gravy based dishes like stews.
Tweak the flavours to your preferences, adding butter and cream then cheese, herbs or spices to your likening. This mash works great with added chopped spring onions, cheeses, paprika and chillies.
