Cauliflower Mash
Cauliflower is having a moment, and rightfully so. Lower in carbohydrates and calories than your standard mashed potato recipe, this flavourful dish also offers up some serious health benefits. Cauliflower contains compounds called glucosinolates, which are not only responsible for imparting this characteristic pungent, spicy flavour, they also have been linked to reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. Our dairy-free cashew cream (see the Mac & Cheese recipe) makes this cauliflower mash especially creamy and flavourful!
Ingredients
- 384g Cauliflower, chopped and steamed
- 4 tbsp Olive Oil
- 4 Garlic, clove
- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper, ground
- 62g Cashew Cream – see Mac and Cheese recipe
- 2 tbsp Parsley – minced, reserve half for garnish
- 1/2 tsp Thyme – minced, reserve half for garnish
- 1 tbsp Rosemary, fresh – minced, reserve half for garnish
Directions
Cut cauliflower into even florets and steam until very tender.
Transfer steamed cauliflower to paper towels to cool. Once they reach room temperature, ring out to remove excess water.
Transfer cooled cauliflower to the blender pitcher and add the rest of the ingredients and half of the minced herbs. Pulse until combined.
Heat in a pot until warm. Taste and adjust flavour as needed.
Transfer to a mixing bowl or serving platter and cover to keep warm.
When ready to serve, garnish with chopped parsley, thyme, and rosemary.
Enjoy!
