When you are trying to eat right, you would go to all lengths to make a meal healthy. It was one fine day when I thought I would not eat grains and was searching for a wholesome filling meal that would not make me crave or starve. It was then I remembered Denny posting a Mashed Cauliflower recipe a while back. It is really simple and can be done in one bowl and in a matter of 10 minutes. I also made a simple Mushroom Stir Fry to go along with it. Also check out my other Mushroom recipes in My Menu Page.
Ingredients:
Serves - 2
Cooking Time - 15 mins
Mushroom - 8 oz ~ 200g
Pearl onions - 2 - minced
Ginger - minced - 1 tbsp
Garlic - minced - 1 tbsp
Cilantro/Coriander leaves - a handful - chopped fine
Red chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
Red chilli paste - 1/2 tsp
Soy sauce - 1 tbsp
Salt - to taste
Oil - 2 tsp
Method:
Clean the mushroom and quarter them. Heat oil in a wok until smoking hot. Quickly fry the minced ginger, garlic and pearl onions. Add the mushrooms and fry on high heat until almost cooked. Reduce the heat and add the red chilli powder, paste and soy sauce. Mix well and add salt to taste. Serve hot garnished with spring onions / cilantro.
I served this simple spicy Mushroom stir-fry with the Mashed Cauliflower I made in Microwave oven. The greek yogurt used here is a great alternative to the heavy cream which is regularly used in the mashed potatoes dish. Also cauliflower used here is steamed rather than boiled which has less water retention than the boiled method.
Ingredients:
Serves - 2
Cooking Time - 15 mins
Cauliflower florets - 2 cups
Garlic cloves - 1 big
Butter - 2 tsp
Part Skim Ricotta Cheese - 1 tbsp
Low Fat Greek Yogurt - 1 tbsp
Salt - to taste
Pepper - to taste
Green onions / Cilantro - chopped fine - 1 tsp - for garnish
Method:
Wash the cauliflower florets and drain well. In a microwave-safe bowl add the florets and garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes, pausing every minute and tossing with a spoon. When done, allow a 2 minute standing time. Add butter, ricotta, yogurt, salt & pepper. Use a fork or an immersion blender to puree the cauliflower. Serve hot with any spicy dish of your choice.
