Recipe submitted by DaVita dietitian Roselyn from Colorado.

Portions: 6     Serving size: 1/2 cup

Ingredients

  • 1 large head of cauliflower (approximately 8 cups or 1-1/2 pounds)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 leek, bulb only, split into 4 pieces and rinsed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or margarine 

Preparation

    1. Break or cut up the cauliflower into small florets.
    2. 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.
    3. Blend hot vegetables in a food processor until smooth like mashed potatoes.  Add a little water if the mixture seems too stiff.
    4. Season the mixture with salt and white pepper. Stir in butter or margarine.
    5. Serve hot.

Renal and renal diabetic food choices

Helpful hints

  • 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.

I made these to replace the mash potatoes at Christmas dinner. Dad wants to take them to the unit for the New Year Party Potluck.
