I loved potatoes. Bake ’em!! , Fry ’em!!, Chip ’em!!, Mash ’em!! Unfortunately, potatoes have no place in our LC eating plans. So what do we eat instead of potato? The answer is the common cauliflower. Like all members of the cruciferous family the cauliflower is a rich source of vitamins and minerals particularly vitamin C. It also contains sulfurous compounds which may help to prevent certain cancers from forming. It also causes the smell when cooked. We cook in an enclosed microwave container with a lid. When buying cauliflower make sure you get the whitest looking heads. Any darker coloring generally indicates that the cauliflower is not that fresh. In a pureed form cauliflower is used by LC eaters in a wide variety of dishes as a mashed potato substitute. A simple recipe, I call it Potato Nearly, forms an integral part of these dishes. Marg and I prepare a batch every week or so. Our first LC fast food !!
