Servings: 6
Equipment
- 1 Food processor or an immersion blender, handheld or standing blender
Ingredients
Roasted Garlic
- 1 head of garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Mashed Cauliflower
- 1 head cauliflower fresh or frozen florets
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 4 cups water
- 6 garlic cloves roasted
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter
- Sea salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 teaspoons parsley freshly chopped, to garnish
Instructions
Roasted Garlic
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Slice about 1/4″ from the head of garlic and drizzle olive oil over the exposed cloves.
- Wrap garlic in aluminum foil and roast for 40-50 minutes, until soft.
- Remove the garlic from the oven and allow it to cool while you cook the cauliflower mash.
Mashed Cauliflower
- Cut the cauliflower into florets.
- Combine, in a medium pot, the cauliflower, vegetable broth and water.
- Place a lid on top and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium low and cook for about 12 - 15 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender.
- Drain the cooked cauliflower into a colander. After the cauliflower drains, allow it to rest in the colander for about 5 minutes. This will allow it to get rid of any excess moisture and help prevent watery cauliflower mash.
- Add the cauliflower and the remaining ingredients into a food processor and puree, making sure there are no lumps and it’s smooth like mashed potatoes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Transfer the mashed cauliflower to a serving bowl and garnish with the parsley and serve.
