Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
Instructions
Remove the leaves and chop the cauliflower into uniform florets.
Peel the garlic cloves.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and whole garlic cloves to the pot. Cook for about 10 minutes or until the cauliflower is very tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
Drain the cauliflower and garlic well, ensuring almost no water remains to avoid a watery mash.
In a large mixing bowl or food processor, combine the drained cauliflower, garlic, unsalted butter, and almond milk. Blend until smooth and creamy. You can add a little more almond milk if needed to achieve the desired consistency.
Season the mash with ground black pepper and ground nutmeg, adjusting to taste.
Chop fresh chives finely.
Serve the cauliflower mash warm, garnished with fresh chopped chives for added flavor and a burst of color.
