Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 large carrots
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the vegetables: remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower head and cut it into florets. Peel the sweet potatoes and chop them into chunks. Peel and chop the carrots into similar-sized pieces.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and set aside.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil with a pinch of salt. Add the cauliflower florets, sweet potatoes, and carrots to the pot.
Cook the vegetables for 20-25 minutes or until soft and easily pierced with a fork.
Once cooked, drain the water using a colander and return the vegetables to the pot.
Add the ghee to the hot vegetables and stir until melted. Then, add the coconut milk, minced garlic, and fresh thyme leaves.
Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, mash the vegetables until they reach a smooth consistency.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, mixing thoroughly to ensure even seasoning throughout the mash.
Transfer the creamy mashed vegetables to a serving bowl and serve warm as a delightful Paleo side dish.
