Creamy Mashed Cauliflower
This creamy mashed cauliflower is silky, savoury, and satisfying—an easy and nourishing alternative to mashed potatoes that still delivers on comfort.
Ingredients
- 1 large head of cauliflower cut into florets
- 2 garlic cloves peeled, whole
- 50 g unsalted vegan butter
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- ¼ cup vegan cream Flora Plant Thickened Cream or Silk Heavy Whipping Cream Alternative
- 1 – 3 tablespoon cooking water
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut any large cauliflower florets in half or quarters so they’re all roughly the same size.
- Place the cauliflower and whole garlic cloves into a large pot of boiling water. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is very tender.
- Before draining, scoop out a cup of the cooking water and set it aside.
- Drain the cauliflower well, then transfer everything to a food processor.
- Add the rest of the ingredients (except the water) and blend until smooth.
- Gradually add the reserved cooking water to reach your desired consistency and help create a creamy texture.
- Season with salt and pepper (and maybe more nooch!) to taste.
- Spoon into a serving dish, drizzle with melted butter, and sprinkle with parsley if you like.
- Serve as a delicious side; it's goes amazing with my Crispy Tofu with Creamy Dill Sauce.
