No blending or processing. And yes, it tastes like mashed cauliflower, not potatoes. It's just the texture that is mimicked. I add a dab of greek yogurt for flavor and creaminess. Try again.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12743768814688893480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429040481329629212.post-62452210641806587772012-04-25T18:45:42.971-07:002012-04-25T18:45:42.971-07:00In my two previous attempts at this dish, I had th...In my two previous attempts at this dish, I had the same problems that Heather had. After I read the statement in the above recipe about not worrying about overcooking it, and then your comment about using too much milk and butter, I decided to give it another try tonight.<br /><br />I cooked it a little longer than I thought I needed to, made sure it was very dry before I put it in the blender, and only added 3 pats of butter (and 2 pieces of bacon). IT WAS AWESOME!<br /><br />Because it was lukewarm by the time it had dried and been blended, I microwaved it in a bowl for about 1 1/2 minutes before serving, which didn't hurt it one bit.<br /><br />So, Heather, definitely try again. When it works, it's great!Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429040481329629212.post-13573757092191950542012-04-25T06:28:40.470-07:002012-04-25T06:28:40.470-07:00I've had your experience and I've also had...I've had your experience and I've also had great success, so I think you need to try again. Since you're going to blend at the end, you can skip the ricing step- and I liked using a steamer basket on the stove. If you boil it in water it's too mushy, and the time I tried the microwave, it wasn't done enough (probably more my fault than the microwave). Also I love it with canned coconut milk.

I found out the hard way like you that adding liquid makes it too runny. Maybe the cauliflower was also a bit over cooked before blending? You could try blotting excess moisture before blending. I liked the flavor even when I made it too soupy, but the texture sure is more appealing when it's thicker.Polly Metallichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04404841777505633584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429040481329629212.post-65263224903021338412012-04-24T22:04:52.659-07:002012-04-24T22:04:52.659-07:00Hey Mrs Woods,

Once I heard you guys were trying it I was pumped. Congrats on your success. I have lost 25 myself. The cauliflower is hard to perfect thats for sure and when you do it's good but not mashed potatoes. <br />You seem like a great wife and mother! <br /><br />Jacob<br /><br />RP 2012<br />We really can win!RevoltingLemminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14065118608969737506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429040481329629212.post-63932024036728724652012-04-24T19:02:13.003-07:002012-04-24T19:02:13.003-07:00Don't use milk.

I add butter (maybe 1 tbsp) and milk (a couple of splashes) too, but they're always creamy and delish. Give it another try - and definitely check out the above recipe, it might be helpful.Lynnenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429040481329629212.post-38518683364584633012012-04-24T17:02:09.728-07:002012-04-24T17:02:09.728-07:00Try the nom nom paleo recipe for mashed cauliflowe...Try the nom nom paleo recipe for mashed cauliflower.
