Ingredients
- 1 head of cauliflower cut into florets
- ⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk more as-needed (sub regular milk)
- 4 tablespoons butter sub ghee or vegan butter
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Steam: Place a steamer basket in a medium/large saucepan. Add enough water to cover the bottom of the pan. Add the cauliflower florets and cover. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer, approx. 8-10 minutes or until the cauliflower is VERY soft (otherwise the consistency won't be very smooth). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Blend: Add steamed cauliflower to a high-speed blender along with ⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk, 4 tablespoons butter, 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon garlic powder. Blend on HIGH for 2-3 minutes or until the consistency is silky smooth.
- Consistency + Taste: Add additional almond milk a tablespoon at a time and then blend again to reach your desired consistency. Taste and add additional butter, salt or garlic powder - as desired.
- Serve: Enjoy with your favorite main dish!
Notes
- Dairy-Free: to make this recipe dairy-free use vegan butter and unsweetened almond milk.
- Other Cooking Techniques: you could also make Instant Pot cauliflower or roast cauliflower in the oven, instead of steaming it on the stovetop.
- Storage: store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
