Method

In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium-low heat; saute the onions until golden, about 20 minutes. Add the garlic and saute 1 minute more; stir in hot sauce. Meanwhile, cut up and clean cauliflower, then steam in a medium saucepan with lid, until soft, about 10 minutes. Drain well then transfer to food processor along with the cream cheese, chicken broth and Parmesan cheese. Puree until smooth. To serve spoon cauliflower mixture into a serving bowl, then top with the sauted onions.

 

Notes: If cauliflower gets cold after pureeing, it re-heats well in the microwave. Since potatoes are a no-no when following a low carb diet, this recipe I created makes a good substitute for mashed potatoes.
