ingredients
1 medium -
cauliflower
1 medium - onion
4 oz - soft cheese (low fat is okay)
1 - lemon
2-3 pinches - grated nutmeg
- salt and pepper
2 sprigs - thyme (to garnish)
1 medium - onion
4 oz - soft cheese (low fat is okay)
1 - lemon
2-3 pinches - grated nutmeg
- salt and pepper
2 sprigs - thyme (to garnish)
directions
- Cut the cauliflower into small florets and peel and chop the onion. Cook the cauliflower and onion together in boiling, lightly salted water for about 12-15 minutes until tender. Drain thoroughly in a colander, then return to the saucepan and mash with a potato masher. This will release more moisture, so reheat gently to evaporate this, stirring so that it doesn't burn.
- Meanwhile, grate the zest from the lemon. Add this and the (low fat) soft cheese to the potato-onion mix then stir in the nutmeg (optional). Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, stir well, then serve garnished with thyme sprigs.
