Ingredients
- 1 whole Cauliflower (large head)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or light milk of choice)
- 2 tablespoons Fat-free cream cheese (softened)
- 1 teaspoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by removing the outer leaves and trimming the stem of the cauliflower. Cut it into evenly sized florets to ensure consistent cooking.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Alternatively, you can steam the cauliflower using a steamer basket over boiling water for the same amount of time.
Step 3
While the cauliflower cooks, heat the teaspoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and lightly golden. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4
Once the cauliflower is cooked, drain it thoroughly and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. This step ensures a creamy texture without becoming watery.
Step 5
Transfer the cauliflower florets to a food processor or blender. Add the sautéed garlic, almond milk, cream cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Blend or process the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. If the mixture is too thick, add more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
Step 7
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Step 8
Spoon the mashed cauliflower into a serving bowl. Garnish with freshly chopped chives, if desired.
Step 9
Serve warm as a delicious, low-carb side dish. Enjoy!
