Serving Size:
1/2 cup
- Diet Types:
- CKD non-dialysis
- Diabetes
- Dialysis
- Lower Protein
- Vegetarian
Ingredients
- 8 cups fresh cauliflower
- 1 teaspoon garlic
- 1 leek bulb
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Preparation
- Break or cut up the cauliflower into small florets. Mince garlic. Split leek bulb into 4 pieces and rinse.
- Place cauliflower florets into a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook 20 minutes. Drain some of the water, leaving about 1 cup in the pan with cauliflower. Add the garlic and leeks, cover and continue to cook 10 to 15 minutes or until very tender. Drain well.
- Blend hot vegetables in a food processor until smooth like mashed potatoes. Add a little water if the mixture seems too stiff.
- Season the mixture with salt and white pepper. Stir in butter or margarine. Serve hot.
Helpful hints
- One large cauliflower is approximately 8 cups or 1-1/2 pounds. Frozen cauliflower pieces may be substituted for fresh cauliflower.
- Vegetables may be steamed instead of boiled if potassium is not restricted in your diet. The potassium content is 440 mg per 1/2 cup serving when cauliflower is steamed compared to 256 mg per 1/2 cup serving when cauliflower is boiled.
