Mashed Cauliflower

Mashed potatoes always makes a great side dish, but potatoes are illegal on the SCD diet, due to the starch.  Other SCD dieters use cauliflower, so I took this recipe off the internet. 

1 cauliflower should make 4 servings

Ingredients:
1 head cauliflower
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

Instructions:
Cut cauliflower into 4 parts or smaller
Steam cauliflower for 8-10 minutes (until tender)
Mash cauliflower to desired consistency
Mix in 4 tablespoons butter and seasoning to taste

This wouldn't be something I'd regularly make if I were on a normal diet, but it makes a good substitute.

My husband hates cauliflower, so it's not for him.  And, my kids wouldn't eat it either.  I plan on checking out other "mix ins" to see if I can get it to where my kids will eat it.  1 cup of cheese is optional.  Unprocessed cheddar is allowed on the SCD diet, but my particular diet is dairy free, so I didn't try that.
