Creamy Cauliflower Parsley Sauce

Jack pot - this does not taste healthy but it must be based on the ingredients it is!




















1 Medium yellow onion diced
2 Large cloves of garlic (roasted)
1/2 Cauliflower head
1 Stalk of celery chopped
1 Cup of vegetable broth
(or 1 Cube and water)
1/2 Cup 2% Milk
1 Tbsp butter
2 Tsp dried parsley
(fresh if you have!)
Salt and pepper



Directions: Brown the onion over medium heat with salt and pepper, (think half way to french onion soup browned) add 1 stalk of celery chopped. Add chopped cauliflower and vegetable broth. Simmer until cauliflower is fork-tender. Add roasted garlic and parsley then let cool a bit. Season with some more pepper and mix in a blender with milk and butter until smooth.


I would have substituted the butter for 1/2 an avocado but there was none to be found - oops!


Bye-bye fatty alfredo this is de-light-ful. Garnish with parsley. I served mine over brown rice spaghetti.
