Cauliflower Mash
- 1 head cauliflower, washed and cut into small pieces
- 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/3 cup onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
Portobello Mushrooms
- 3 teaspoons olive oil
- 4 large portobello mushrooms, stems & gills removed
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
Red Wine Sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1.3 cup onion, chopped
- 3/4 cup red wine
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Instructions
Cauliflower Mash
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, fill 3/4 of the pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add cauliflower and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until soft. Drain well when done.
- When cool, in a food processor or high-speed blender puree the cauliflower with cannellini beans, onion, garlic, vegetable broth and ground pepper until almost smooth. Set aside.
Portobello Mushrooms
- Turn the grill on to medium-high and lightly grease the grill grates with either a 1/4 teaspoon of olive oil or cooking spray.
- Remove the gills, which are the inside of the mushroom using a spoon and then wipe off the mushroom with a damp paper towel.
- Using a basting brush, lightly grease the portobello mushrooms with 1 3/4 teaspoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill for 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. When cool, slice portobello mushrooms on a diagonal and set aside.
Red Wine Sauce
- In a small pot, add 1 teaspoon olive oil, onion, and minced garlic, and saute for about 3 minutes. Add red wine and balsamic vinegar; stir well about 10 minutes and set aside.
- Place the cauliflower mixture on a platter. Add the portobello mushrooms on top and drizzle with the red wine sauce.
