Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.25 cup Coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower: remove the green leaves and cut the cauliflower into florets of similar size. This ensures even cooking.
Peel the garlic cloves and set aside.
Fill a large pot with about an inch of water and place a steamer basket inside. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, place the cauliflower florets and garlic cloves in the steamer basket, cover with a lid, and steam for 10-12 minutes, or until the cauliflower is fork-tender and soft.
Transfer the steamed cauliflower and garlic to a food processor or blender.
Add the coconut cream, olive oil, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
Process the mixture until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. This should take 2-3 minutes for a creamy consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to your preference.
Transfer the creamy mashed cauliflower to a serving bowl.
Finely chop the chives and sprinkle them over the top of the mashed cauliflower for a fresh flavor and garnish.
Serve warm as a delicious, paleo-friendly side dish.
