Description

Ingredients

• 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
• 1/4 cup skim or reduced fat milk, unsweetened nondairy milk, or 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

• Boil a large pot of salted water. Add cauliflower and cook until very tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, in a separate saute pan, warm olive oil over medium-low heat, add garlic and saute for about 30 seconds, or until the garlic is golden and fragrant. Remove from the heat.
• Mash with a potato masher in a large bowl. For a smoother mashed cauliflower, use an immersion or hand blender to puree, or puree it in the food processor. While mixing, slowly add n the milk until the desired consistency is achieved. Mix in the salt and pepper and the minced garlic with the olive oil. Serve.
• Mashed cauliflower can be topped with chopped scallions if desired.
