Step 1

Begin by cutting the large head of cauliflower into florets, ensuring they're roughly the same size for even cooking.

Blend the cauliflower mixture on high until it becomes smooth and creamy, resembling the texture of traditional polenta.

Step 6

Transfer the cauliflower mixture back to the pot over medium heat.

Step 7

Stir in 2 tablespoons of ghee, 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 8

Mix the ingredients thoroughly and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring often to ensure everything is well combined and heated through.

Step 9

Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.

Step 10

Serve the Paleo Creamy Polenta hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or an additional sprinkle of nutritional yeast.
