Cauliflower Mash is a creamy, low-carb alternative to traditional mashed potatoes that delivers all the comfort and flavor without the extra carbs. This dish is made by steaming or boiling cauliflower until tender, then blending it with butter, cream, and seasonings to create a smooth and velvety texture. It’s perfect as a side dish for roasted meats or grilled vegetables and can be customized with garlic, herbs, or cheese for added flavor. Light, fluffy, and delicious, cauliflower mash is a great way to enjoy a healthy, flavorful option that doesn’t sacrifice taste.
Ingredients:
- 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup heavy cream (or milk for a lighter option)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Steam or boil the cauliflower florets in a large pot of water until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain well and let the cauliflower sit for a few minutes to release any excess moisture.
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic (if using) and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Transfer the cauliflower to a food processor or blender. Add the melted butter, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the cream or butter if you prefer a smoother consistency.
- Serve warm, garnished with fresh chives or parsley for added color and flavor.
Enjoy your Cauliflower Mash as a wholesome, delicious side dish that pairs beautifully with any main course!
