Description

Creamy cauliflower is an easy recipe that tastes like mashed potatoes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets (about 8 cups)
  • 3 tablespoons grass fed cultured butter, ghee or extra virgin olive oil
  • Celtic sea salt to taste

Golden Garlic

  • 4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
  • Celtic sea salt
  • Fresh ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Steam the cauliflower until very tender about 10 minutes. Don’t boil it. Boiling it makes it too soggy. Drain.
  2. Add the cauliflower to a food processor along with 2 tablespoons of butter and salt. (If you don’t eat butter, use 2 tablespoons of ghee or extra virgin olive oil).
  3. Process until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula.
  4. Taste, add more salt and butter if desired.
  5. Serve immediately or top with golden garlic

Golden Garlic

  1. While cauliflower is steaming, cook the garlic.
  2. In a small sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoons of butter over very low heat and add the chopped garlic.
  3. Cook on low until golden, stirring frequently about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
  4. Serve cauliflower sprinkled with the golden garlic and fresh pepper.

Notes

The cauliflower mashed ‘potatoes’ taste great without the garlic topping too!
