Cauliflower Mash

This is not a sub for mashed potatoes because this peppery velvety mash is way better.

Ingredients:
1 head cauliflower, chunked into large cubes (about 2-3")
1 russet potato scrubbed and chunked into about 2" cubes
3/4t white pepper (white. NOT black pepper)
1/2-1t salt (to taste); plus 1/8c salt for cooking water
1/8 c olive oil
1T lemon juice
1/8c-1/4c cooking liquid

Directions:
1. Fill a large pot (about 6-8qt capacity) with water plus 1/8c salt, leaving room for volume when you add the cauliflower and potato.  Bring to a boil. Add the cut cauliflower and potato and cook till the potato chunks are fork-tender (about 10-15 minutes). Drain, but save some of the cooking liquid.

2. Put cauliflower and potato plus a few tablespoons of the reserved cooking water in a large capacity food processor and begin processing. Slowly add the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and white pepper. If too thick, add a bit more of the cooking water (see below picture for consistency illustration).



Makes about 8 1-cup servings.
