Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.25 cup Coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the cauliflower: remove the green leaves and cut the cauliflower into florets of similar size. This ensures even cooking.
Step 2
Peel the garlic cloves and set aside.
Step 3
Fill a large pot with about an inch of water and place a steamer basket inside. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Once boiling, place the cauliflower florets and garlic cloves in the steamer basket, cover with a lid, and steam for 10-12 minutes, or until the cauliflower is fork-tender and soft.
Step 5
Transfer the steamed cauliflower and garlic to a food processor or blender.
Step 6
Add the coconut cream, olive oil, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
Step 7
Process the mixture until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. This should take 2-3 minutes for a creamy consistency.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to your preference.
Step 9
Transfer the creamy mashed cauliflower to a serving bowl.
Step 10
Finely chop the chives and sprinkle them over the top of the mashed cauliflower for a fresh flavor and garnish.
Step 11
Serve warm as a delicious, paleo-friendly side dish.
