Mashed Cauliflower


Mashed Cauliflower

by Kristin Kons taken from www.eatingwithpurpose.com
A great substitute for mashed potatoes… thick, creamy and delicious!

Ingredients

  • 1 medium head cauliflower, about a pound
  • 1/3 cup vegetable broth (sugar and yeast free)
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream or plain greek yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons organic butter
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt or Mama Garlic salt by Frontier
  • ½ teaspoon pepper, or to taste
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1-2 tablespoons coconut flour, for desired consistency

Directions

  1. Cut cauliflower into florets and let it sit for 5-10 minutes.
  2. Add 1/3 cup veggie broth to a medium saute pan over medium-high heat.
  3. When the broth starts to steam, add the cauliflower and cover. Set timer for 5 minutes.
  4. Place all ingredients into a food processor and process until smooth. Or if you don’t have a food processor add ingredients into a large bowl and mash with a potato masher.
  5. If it doesn’t seem creamy enough just add more sour cream/yogurt or butter.

Quick notes

I really don’t measure. I just adjust it to my taste and consistency. If it tastes too much like cauliflower you need to add more pepper and a little more butter or sour cream/yogurt. It could also be because you overcooked it.
Phase 1 Friendly

Variations

If using fresh garlic, to mellow the flavor add it to the cauliflower during the last few minutes of cooking. Stir in pesto or a sprinkle of curry powder for a gourmet twist!
Number of servings (yield): 4
