We currently use a blender when making this recipe but a food processor would be much more suited to this recipe. Once we find a food processor worth recommending we will list it for you.
To start off go to your local grocery store and find yourself a large cauliflower head. Once we cut the cauliflower off its stem and cut off unnecessary pieces we’re usually left with a total weight of edible cauliflower weighing about ~770g. If your total weight of edible cauliflower is between 700-850g this recipe’s proportions should work well.
Next up we add in some ingredients that we would normally use to make mashed potatoes plus some additional for flavoring and you got a tasty cauliflower mash. This is one of our healthy food recipes that we recommend to go as a side to many of our recipes.
–PART 3: Cooking Instructions
First begin by filling a large pot approximately 3/4 of the way full with water and begin to bring the water to a boil.
Next take your cauliflower and begin to cut off the stem and then once the stem is removed cut the cauliflower head into florets. For additional information on cutting a cauliflower there are some good instructional videos on YouTube.
Once the cauliflower is cut into florets and the water is boiling place the cauliflower in the pot and cover and allow to cook for 10 minutes. After the cauliflower is cooked remove it from the pot by using a large strainer and then pat dry with multiple paper towels (If not sufficiently dried the end result can come out mush and more bland).
Add all the ingredients aside the cauliflower to your food processor/blender and then begin adding the cauliflower a few florets at a time and blending to make sure you achieve an even consistency. Keep doing this until you have added all the cauliflower and finish once you achieve a “puree” like consistency.
Your cauliflower mash is now finished and ready to serve or be stored in a large tupperware. This recipe makes 4 servings.
*The reheat time varies depending on how much you choose to reheat at once. For one serving reheat for 1 Minute 30 Seconds.*
