Creamy Mashed Cauliflower

Creamy Mashed Cauliflower

Slightly adapted from IBreatheImHungry

Over time I’ve slightly adapted Melissa’s recipe and made it my own, to better meet my taste preferences.

Ingredients

Serves 4

1 medium head of cauliflower, trimmed and cut into florets (or 1 bag of Trader Joe’s cauliflower florets)

3 tablespoons of milk (your choice of milk, I use either regular or almond)

1 tablespoon of butter

½ cup / 2 oz / 50 gr good tasting grated cheese (my personal preference goes to Swiss Emmenthal cheese)

1 teaspoon fine grain sea salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Chopped scallion to serve

Directions

Place cauliflower florets in a microwave safe bowl with milk and butter, cover with a lid (do not forget the lid, it’s necessary to retain the moisture) and cook on high for 8 minutes.

Take out of the microwave, give it a good a stir, cover with the lid and microwave on high for further 6 minutes.

While it’s still hot and steamy, add the shredded cheese, salt and pepper, and using an immersion blender (or using a stand blender) blend until smooth and creamy.

Top with some chopped scallion and serve.
