Yes, This is a common recipe with a lot of controversial views. I am actually one of those people that HATE mashed cauliflower. But I watched a few videos on what everyone does to make theirs and figured I’d try it again.
It honestly did not turn out bad this time. In the past when I tried to make this, after a few bites, I couldn’t take anymore with out wanting to toss it across the room.  This time, it was great. There are a few things I did that I haven’t seen on other peoples recipes for it.
Maybe it will work for you.
Ingredients
  • 1 Head of Cauliflower
  • 1/4 c. Butter (maybe more- Excellent with Kerry Gold!)
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 1 T Nutritional Yeast Flakes
  • 1/8 tsp Xanthan Gum
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Chickens Soup Base( I like Orrington Farms)
  • 1.5 – 2 Tsp Parsley
Directions:
  • Chop Cauliflower into even sizes florets.
  • Steam Cauliflower for about 10 min or just under fork tender.
    • Steaming too long will make the end result very watery
  • Place Cauliflower and butter into a food processor
  • Blend until smooth
  • Add in the remaining ingredients and mix well
  • ENJOY!

When we attempted this recipe I expected something more similar to egg foo young. My husband and I were so very wrong! These are a new favorite and plan on making this several more times! The flavor was simple and present! It was fantastic! There really is no way around it. Fantastic really sums it up!

I really recommend these! Try them out! Let us know what you think!

Recipe from '500 Low-Carb Recipes' by Dana Carpender



INGREDIENTS
  • 3 medium zucchini, grated 
  • 1 tsp salt 
  • 3 eggs 
  • 1 cup crumbled feta 
  • 1 tsp dried oregano 
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely diced 
  • 1/8 tsp pepper 
  • 3 Tbsp soy powder[POWDERED SOY MILK) or protein powder 
  • butter

DIRECTIONS
  1. Mix grated zucchini with salt in a bowl, let sit an hour or so, and then squeeze out, draining the liquid.
  2. Mix in eggs, feta, oregano, onion, pepper and soy powder and combine well.
  3. Spray heavy skillet with nonstick spray, add a healthy tbsp of butter and melt over medium heat. Fry batter by the tablespoonful, turning once. Add more butter between batches, as needed. Let them get quite brown before turning, otherwise they fall apart.

My notes: I hand squeezes the zucchini and forgot to add the powder. Adding the powder would have likely made it a bit easier to cook. Don't need to add anything to these. They are very flavorful and delicious!
