I have a genuine affection for mashed potatoes – I mean, I really adore them. Let’s be clear, there’s nothing inherently wrong with potatoes; they are a wholesome food entirely suitable for a healthy diet. Nevertheless, there’s also nothing amiss with infusing some variety into your culinary repertoire. That’s where mashed cauliflower enters the scene.

Cauliflower has gained tremendous popularity as a vegetable lately, finding its way into everything from pizza crust to crackers. Yet, in my opinion, it truly shines when transformed into a lush and creamy mashed cauliflower. Not only does it possess a delightful flavor, but this garlic-infused mashed cauliflower provides an excellent low-carb option for individuals pursuing weight loss, adhering to dietary restrictions, or aiming to stabilize their blood sugar levels. Paired with straightforward ingredients and an abundance of garlic, a modest cauliflower head yields a gratifying side dish that will captivate the entire family.

I’ve noticed that cauliflower can become somewhat watery when cooked, so I refrained from adding any extra milk, cream, or liquid. However, if you desire to elevate this garlic mashed cauliflower, also known as cauliflower mashed potatoes, to a level of exceptional richness and creaminess, you can readily incorporate a touch of grated parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower
  • 4 cloves garlic, with peels removed
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 cups water, with additional as needed
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • Black pepper
  • Parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • Begin by removing the leaves from the cauliflower and breaking it into florets or chopping the head into pieces.
  • In a spacious pot, combine the broth, water, cauliflower, and garlic, adding extra water if necessary to ensure the cauliflower is fully submerged.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the cauliflower becomes tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  • After cooking, strain the cauliflower and garlic cloves in a large colander, ensuring not to discard the garlic.
  • Return the strained cauliflower and garlic to the original pot, off the heat, and add the butter, olive oil, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Utilize a potato masher to combine the ingredients until a smooth consistency is achieved. For an even creamier texture, transfer the mixture to a food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed, and optionally garnish with chopped parsley.
