Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
Directions
Step 1
Remove the leaves and chop the cauliflower into uniform florets.
Step 2
Peel the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and whole garlic cloves to the pot. Cook for about 10 minutes or until the cauliflower is very tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
Step 4
Drain the cauliflower and garlic well, ensuring almost no water remains to avoid a watery mash.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl or food processor, combine the drained cauliflower, garlic, unsalted butter, and almond milk. Blend until smooth and creamy. You can add a little more almond milk if needed to achieve the desired consistency.
Step 6
Season the mash with ground black pepper and ground nutmeg, adjusting to taste.
Step 7
Chop fresh chives finely.
Step 8
Serve the cauliflower mash warm, garnished with fresh chopped chives for added flavor and a burst of color.
