A simple, creamy cauliflower mash that’s delicious and makes a perfect substitution for mashed potatoes. This is a great alternative for someone watching their carbs - and it tastes great!Serves 4 - 6 as a side.
Boil cauliflower florets and garlic cloves in a large pot with just enough water to cover. Add a few good pinches of kosher salt. Boil for 10 - 15 minutes until fork tender.
Drain well and add the contents back into the pot.
Over medium high heat, stir constantly until all the excess water has evaporated, as we don’t want anything to brown. We just want all the excess water gone.
Once you stir and see no more water on the bottom of the pan, add the butter and mix it in. Once melted, stir in the cream.
You can mash this in the pot until creamy or transfer into a food processer and process until creamy and smooth. You can also use an immersion blender but you’ll have to tilt the pan while blending to give the blender enough depth to blend.
Taste and adjust with salt and pepper to your taste. Remember, we already seasoned the cooking water so taste before adjusting for salt.
Serve with additional melted butter drizzled on top and some chop chives, if desired.
