Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups cauliflower, chopped
• 1 cup coconut milk, canned
• 1 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian)
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 3

Add the chopped cauliflower to the skillet and stir well to coat with the garlic and oil.

Pour in the chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Cover and let it cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the cauliflower is fork-tender.

Step 5

Transfer the cauliflower and broth to a blender. Add the coconut milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Depending on your blender, this may take about 2-3 minutes.

Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice as desired.

Step 8

Return the sauce to a clean skillet or saucepan and gently heat over low, stirring occasionally until warmed through.

Step 9
