creamy mashed cauliflower from Ruby Tuesdays

[MartysGirl]

Does anyone know how they make this stuff?

I love it!

[billgwen]

I tried them too and asked the cook. Here's the basics:

1 head cauliflower
1/2 cup butter
1 tsp pepper -- up to 1 tbsp

Cook 1 head of cauliflower until very soft. MASH all the water out of it through a screen mesh colander (If you skip this step you get cauliflower soup). Add 1 stick butter and considerable pepper (min 1 teaspoon up to a tablespoon - careful it goes from perfect to HOT very fast). Whip with mixer or in food processor, re-heat if necessary.

OMG, I Didn't even know Ruby Tuesday was doing low carb but I went there for dinner today thinking I would do my usual Grilled chicken breast with Hot Sauce and Ranch with Broccli and no fries but then....I saw the low carb menu....YEAH!!! :laughing

I had the church street chicken and the Califlower....I LOVE THAT CALIFLOWER! I asked the manager what was in it she said that is comes premixed....hmmmm I have to find who that vendor is and order a truck load!!

And I had their low carb cheese cake....YUMMY!! I got one peice to go so I can have it for breakfast in the morning!

i just went there today. i had the grilled talapia fish with cajun seasons, the broccolli, and the mashed cauliflower. it was all fabulous. i have made the cauliflower before but my recipe said to add cream cheese and the put cheddar cheese on top and bake it after mashing the cauliflower. this was good, but it was like a vegetable side dish. the ruby tuesday cauliflower did taste like mashed potatoes more. LOVED IT!!!

well i went to RUBY tuesdays...oreder LOW carb...got the RIBEYE steak which was yummy...and the creamed spinish and mashed cauliflower. Well i found the veggies to be too salty.....and i guess they were cause today im up 3.5 lbs. wasnt worth it one bit...we went for my HUBBY's birthday and today im bummed from this gain. I did have salad bar to but didnt eat anything i shouldnt have i had my 2 cups lettuce with some cheese and egg on top and 1 tbsp dressing....i rather eat home and be sure whats going into my tummy...!!!!!!!!!!!! they probaly hide sugars in things....i know when many low carb products were tested on dateline friday...ONLY atkins stuff was ACCURATE!!!! Oh well.

Friendly, what stage are you in?

Pay careful attention to the carb counts in each of those items, the Ribeye steak with spinach and creamed cauliflower is close to 20 net carbs (due to what is used in making the spinach mainly).

There are no hidden sugars in the dishes other than what is states on the menu, but if you have been going from an even 20 carbs spread through the day to almost 20 in one meal, that could negatively effect you. I have been to Ruby's many times, usually getting the burger wraps as I have no desire to eat steak from somewhere that doesn't specialize in it, and have never had any ill-effects.

2day for Lunch~

We went to Ruby Tuesday's today for lunch. I got the Petite Sirloin, Pork Rinds, & mashed cauliflower. It was 13 Net Carbs. It was good but I did NOT like the cauliflower. It made me sick~

I just went to Ruby Tuesdays today and ordered the exact same thing. INCREDIBLE!!! I only hope it was legal for induction. I thought it was, but everything was so wonderful that I can't see how it possibly could be...

[NulloModo]

IIRC correctly there is nothing in the church street chicken that wouldn't be induction legal...

you can eat incredibly well on induction, you just have to know how to use certain ingredients well.

[Trying Hard]

Watch out for that creamed cauliflower I read on the website it has 11 carbs. That is ridiculous there is definitely something hidden in there. :nono

[NulloModo]

They probably just use a mix of milk and cream instead of pure heavy cream for the sauce (to save money) that would account for the the carb count.

[penguinsma]

Ya know what Nullo, you are most probably right...When I asked them for heavy cream so I could have a cup of decaf for desert, (while hubby polished off a blondie n ice cream) there wasnt any cream to be found..Not in the kitchen or at the bar either...So I had to forego on the decaf. If they used cream in the cauliflower, they would have had some for the decaf...The reason the church street chicken is 13 net carbs is because they are including the cauliflower in there. Next time I will forego on the cauliflower, even though it was the most delicious thing (to me)...
