Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Cauliflower head
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chives (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower, then cut it into small florets.
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the cauliflower florets and garlic cloves, then cook for about 10-12 minutes or until the cauliflower is fork-tender.
Drain the cauliflower and garlic well and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a food processor or blender, combine the cooked cauliflower, garlic, olive oil, butter, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides as needed.
Taste the mashed cauliflower and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if necessary.
Transfer the mashed cauliflower to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped chives, if desired.
Serve warm alongside your favorite protein or main dish. Enjoy your low-carb mashed potato substitute!
