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.
