Smashed Cauliflower
1/2 head of cauliflower, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 small red potatoes, skins on, cut into 1-inch pieces (or leave the potatoes out and use more cauliflower)
1/8 - 1/4 cup skim milk
2 tablespoons water (reserved from boiling the cauliflower and potatoes)
1 heaping tablespoon nonfat Greek yogurt
1 shallot, diced
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 cup bleu cheese crumbles
Place the cauliflower and potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Boil until tender (easily pierced with a fork), about 10-15 minutes. Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of the liquid.
In a large bowl, smash the potatoes, cauliflower, water, milk and yogurt with a potato masher until you've reached the desired consistency - it should be slightly chunky and creamy, but not too thin or liquified. Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
