You can save some time by using instant mashed potatoes and incorporating them in step 2. The cauliflower and garlic used in step 1 should cook in about 10 to 12 minutes.
Great Pairings
Brazilian Stuffed Rib Roast
Trim the cost of this show- stopping rib roast by omitting the ham and cheese from the stuffing. Just use the vegetables and stuff as directed. You'll still get spectacular results and wonderful flavor.
