Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoon butter or ghee
- 5 roasted garlic cloves
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- First, bring a pot of water to a boil. Chop the head of cauliflower into florets. Boil the florets for 10 minutes, or until soft.
- Then, drain the cauliflower.
- Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Finally, transfer to a serving bowl. If desired, add more butter on top. Serve!
Notes
- Boil the cauliflower until soft, but not mushy.
- If desired, use half cauliflower and half potatoes.
- Freshly roasted garlic cloves add the most garlic flavor. If needed, use minced garlic or garlic powder.
- Use a food processor or blender for the creamiest result. A potato masher will yield some chunks of cauliflower.
