This flavourful Garlic & Chive Mashed Cauliflower pairs well with a wide range of main dishes and comes together in under 30 minutes. It is perfect for those busy weeknights when you want to get a healthy dinner on the table without too much of a fuss.
Pair this side dish with some of my favourite main dishes like Apple & Rosemary Stuffed Pork Chops or Sous Vide Strip Steak.
Garlic and Chive Mashed Cauliflower
Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 15 minutes | Serves: 4
Ingredients:
1 medium cauliflower head, florets only
2-3 whole garlic cloves, peeled
2 T. extra virgin olive oil
2 T. unsweetened almond milk
1 t. garlic powder
1 t. onion powder
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
3 T. fresh chives, chopped
Directions:
Place the cauliflower florets and the garlic cloves into a steamer basket set over a pot of gently boiling water. Cover and steam until the cauliflower is fork-tender, around 15 minutes.
Transfer the cauliflower and garlic to a food processor or blender and add the olive oil, almond milk, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and process until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasonings, as desired.
Transfer to a serving bowl and top with fresh chives before serving. Enjoy!
Tip: Steaming the garlic along with the cauliflower will remove the raw edge and make it more tender.
