Rachael Ray's Holiday Side Dish Recipes

Cheesy Smashed Cauliflower

1 cup chicken stock

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 large head cauliflower

1/3 cup garlic and herb soft cheese, such as Boursin brand (about 3 ounces)

A handful of grated Parmigiano Reggiano or Romano cheese

1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg (eyeball it)

2 tablespoons chives, chopped or snipped

Add the chicken stock and oil, about one turn of the pan, to a deep pot. Trim away the greens and stems from the base of cauliflower. Cut away the core with a sharp paring knife. Set the cored head into the pot with the broth. Cover the pot and bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the cauliflower, covered, until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Uncover the pot and mash the cauliflower. Let some liquid cook off as you smash the cheeses into the cauliflower. As the mixture thickens, turn off the heat and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Stir in the chives and transfer the cauliflower to a serving dish.

Serves 4-6

Orange You Glad It's Sweet Potato Mash

2 1/2 - 3 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

Salt and pepper

1/2 - 3/4 cup chicken stock or vegetable stock

1/4 - 1/2 cup all-fruit orange preserves/marmalade

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped

Puree of roast butternut squash and/or carrot (optional), 1/2-1 cup, or what you have on hand

Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by at least an inch. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil; salt the water. Turn the heat down to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and pierce easily with a fork. Strain, then add the potatoes back to the pot. Place the pot over low heat for about a minute to let any excess steam evaporate. Start to mash the potatoes with a potato masher or a wooden spoon, then add the chicken stock, preserves, cinnamon, nutmeg and thyme and season with salt and pepper. If using optional puree, add in while mashing all the ingredients together.

Serves 4-6
