Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of your choice)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the cauliflower thoroughly and cut it into florets, discarding the stem and leaves.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the cauliflower florets and garlic cloves to the boiling water.
Cook the cauliflower and garlic for 10-12 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and can be pierced easily with a fork.
Drain the cauliflower and garlic well, then transfer them to a food processor or a blender.
Add olive oil, almond milk, salt, and black pepper to the cauliflower mixture.
Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl or pitcher to ensure an even consistency.
Transfer the mashed cauliflower to a medium-sized bowl. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if necessary.
Serve the mashed cauliflower hot, garnishing with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor, if desired.
