Fauxtatoes Deluxe

About

Brenda Gantt

I am a self-taught cook. I started cooking around 18 years old. I stood in the kitchen and watched my mother, who was my biggest inspiration at the time, cook.

This extra-rich fauxtatoes recipe comes from Adele Hite, and it is the basis for the “grits” part of her Low-Carb Shrimp and Grits recipe.

Yield: 6 generous servings, each with 6 grams of carbohydrates and 2 grams of fiber, for a total of 4 grams of usable carbs and 4 grams of protein.

 

INGREDIENTS 

  • 1 large head cauliflower
  • 1/3 cup cream
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt and pepper

 

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Simmer the cauliflower in water with the cream added to it until it is very soft. Drain thoroughly.
  2. Put the still-warm cauliflower in a food processor with the cream cheese, butter, and salt and pepper to taste, and process until smooth. You may need to do this in batches.
