Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the ingredients. Rinse the cauliflower under cold water and remove the leaves and stem. Cut the cauliflower into small florets to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Chop the fresh chives finely and set them aside for garnish later.
Step 3
Fill a large pot with about 2 inches of water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Place a steamer basket in the pot and add the cauliflower florets. Cover with a lid and steam for 10-12 minutes, or until the cauliflower is very tender.
Step 4
While the cauliflower is steaming, heat the ghee in a small pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant, ensuring not to burn it. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 5
Once the cauliflower is steamed and tender, carefully transfer it to a food processor. Add the sautéed garlic and ghee, coconut milk, salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Process the mixture on high until it becomes smooth and creamy. Stop to scrape down the sides of the processor bowl as needed to ensure even consistency.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If the mash is too thick for your preference, add a bit more coconut milk, one tablespoon at a time, and continue blending.
Step 8
Transfer the creamy cauliflower mash to a serving bowl. Garnish with chopped fresh chives.
Step 9
Serve the mash warm as a delicious, healthy side dish that's completely compatible with Whole30 standards.
