Cauliflower Mash

My dairy-free cauliflower mash is surely a crowd pleaser. It's a simple side dish to add to any meal as shown in my halibut recipe!

Serves 2-4 people

• 1 cauliflower head, roughly chopped and rinsed

• 2 large garlic cloves, peeled

• olive oil

Preparation

In a medium pot, add water and bring to a boil on high heat.

Add 1 tbsp of salt, cauliflower, and garlic cloves to the boiling water. Allow to cook for approximately 10-12 minutes or until the florets are soft enough that when the stem is pricked with a knife, it slides off with no hesitation.

Drain the cauliflower and garlic well and place them back in the pot.

Mash the cauliflower and garlic with a potato masher or food processor for a smooth consistency. Add the nutritional yeast and stir to combine.

In a small pot, melt the butter on low heat. Add the coconut milk and spices.

When the butter mixture comes to a soft boil, remove it from heat and stir it into the cauliflower mixture until it is well combined.

Taste for seasoning and add salt if needed. I like to drizzle a touch of olive oil over the top before serving.

Enjoy!
