Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 large cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Begin by cutting the cauliflower into florets and chop it into smaller pieces for easier steaming.
Fill a large pot with about an inch of water and insert a steamer basket. Add the cauliflower florets and broccoli into the basket.
Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Steam the vegetables for about 10-12 minutes, or until both the cauliflower and broccoli are tender when pierced with a fork.
Once cooked, transfer the cauliflower to a food processor. Reserve the broccoli for later use.
Add minced garlic to the food processor along with coconut milk, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Process the mixture until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the processor with a spatula to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Transfer the cauliflower mash to a serving bowl. Gently fold in the steamed broccoli florets.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt or pepper.
Serve warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for an extra touch of color and flavor.
