This recipe for Mashed Cauliflower with Mushroom Gravy works as a delicious low-carb substitute for mashed potatoes. If I didn’t make it myself, even I might be fooled! This recipe tops creamy parmesan mashed cauliflower with a creamy gravy rich with mushrooms and flavor. Notes of garlic and thyme combine perfectly with deep, earthy mushroom flavors. The result is a side dish everyone will enjoy.

Before eating low-carb, I admit that cauliflower rarely made its way to my plate. I have always loved broccoli, but didn’t give its blander, less colorful cousin a second thought. Now, I’ve started to understand thatthe blandness and lack of color make this vegetable truly special. Cauliflower makes a great low-carb stand in for potatoes, rice, pasta, and even low-carb cauliflower pizza crust! The bland veggie makes low-carb comfort food a reality. I no longer discriminate against cauliflower for its lack of taste and color. Instead, I embrace the vegetable as the great imposter. Now, cauliflower is on my dinner plate several times a week. Check out the role this vegetable plays in some of our other recipes:Cauliflower and Kale Curry Soup, Mashed Cauliflower with Smoked Gouda, and Low-Carb Shrimp and Grits

In our Mashed Cauliflower with Mushroom Gravy recipe, the cauliflower plays the part of mashed potatoes. Mashed potatoes and gravy were often on our table when I was growing up. They seemed to go with everything. My favorite thing about this recipe is that it takes me home, just like real comfort food should. Enjoy!
