| Atkins - Cauliflower-Leek Puree CAULIFLOWER-LEEK PUREE Servings: 6

Fat: 9 grams
Protein: 3 grams

Net Carbs: 5 grams
1 head cauliflower, separated into florets
1 leek, white and 1" green, well washed, cut into 1/2" slices
1 teaspoon salt, divided
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons cream
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
salt and pepper
1. Cook cauliflower and leeks in lightly salted boiling water
15 minutes, until very tender. Drain; return veggies to
pot and toss over high heat to thoroughly remove
excess moisture. Place half the vegetables in food
processor with half the butter and cream. Process until
smooth. Repeat with remaining vegetables, butter, and
cream. Mix in nutmeg; season to taste with salt and
pepper.
Leeks are relatively low in carbs (for a member of the onion
family) and have a fresh flavor which pairs well with cauliflower.
The single leek used here turns this dish into a close double for
mashed potatoes. Atkins - Cauliflower-Leek Puree
