This light and airy cauliflower recipe is a tasty low carb substitute for mashed potatoes.  Cauliflower is a high fiber cruciferous vegetable that is low in calories; one cup equals 20 calories and 200 grams of protein.  It is high in vitamins C, K, B6, Folate, Potassium, Manganese, Magnesium and Phosphorus.   Cauliflower’s own starch means that a small amount of ghee goes a long way in creating a luscious consistency.  Sour cream and parmesan cheese can also be added along with rosemary, thyme or sage for interesting additions to the dish.
