Mashed Cauliflower with Caramelized Onions, Black Beans, and Sauteed Spinach

Yesterday, I went to the grocery store and found that cauliflower was on sale. As much as I love it raw or steamed, I was hoping to do something fancy with this cauliflower. I had seen a few cooking shows where they mashed it, like you would do with potatoes, so I thought I'd try that out... I also had some leftover black beans and wanted to work that into the meal as well. So I steamed and mashed the cauliflower, caramelized some onions, and added the beans and spinach. DELICIOUS!

Ingredients:

• 1 head of cauliflower
• 3-4 tbsp sour cream
• garlic salt to taste
• black pepper to taste
• 1/2 onion, sliced
• 1/2 cup black beans
• 2 cups fresh baby spinach
• a little bit of chicken broth

Directions:

1. Cut the cauliflower into florets and place in a large pot, with enough water to cover the florets by about an inch or so.
2. Boil for 20-25 minutes, until the cauliflower is fork tender.
3. Meanwhile, heat a bit of veggie oil in a frying pan on medium-high.
4. Add onions and lower heat to medium. Cook slowly, added chicken broth as necessary to keep the onions moist.
5. While the onions are cooking, drain cauliflower.
6. Add sour cream, garlic salt, and black pepper.
7. Mash with a potato mashed or an immersion blender, depending on the texture you'd like.
8. Add the black beans and spinach to the frying pan, and cook until spinach is wilted and bright green.
9. Spoon mashed cauliflower onto plate and top with onions, beans, and spinach.

ENJOY!
