Chuck Roast & Mashed Cauliflower by Dawna Ara L.Ac

​Who doesn't love a good roast with mashed potatoes? Well we've just one upped this recipe by substituting cauliflower for the potatoes. The cauliflower makes it seriously delicious, a bit more nutritious, and lower in carbohydrates for our diabetic friends and anyone else on a low carbohydrate diet.​

​Recipe
For the Roast
2 pounds of chuck roast
1 onion chopped
1 bulb garlic chopped
2 stalks of celery chopped
1/4th cup of carrot chopped
2 cups water
1 cup Merlot
1 tablespoon salt
Pepper to taste
2 tablespoons agar agar (gravy thickener)

For the Mashed Cauliflower
1 large cauliflower
1 clove of garlic minced 
1 tsp fresh rosemary minced
3 tablespoons melted butter
1/4th cup heavy whipping cream
1 tsp salt
pepper to taste

For the roast, add all ingredients and slow cook for 8 hours. When it's done take the meat out and set aside. To make gravy add agar agar to the liquid and puree until smooth. Add the roast back in and shread.

For the mashed cauliflower, chop it up and boil until tender. Drain the water and add the cauliflower to your food processor. Pulse in salt, pepper, rosemary, garlic, butter and heavy cream. Process until smooth and creamy.

That's it!
