Mashed Cauliflower
Prep Time: 15 mins
Cooking Time: 35 mins
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower, leaves removed and discarded
- 1 cup water
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp plain yogurt
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter (optional)
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Separate cauliflower into bite-size florets (the curly part) and leave stems.
- Put the pot on the stove, add the cauliflower and water, and set the heat to high. Bring the pot to a boil. Cover and turn the heat down to low.
- Cook the cauliflower until very tender, 15-35 minutes depending on the size of the cauliflower florets. If there is liquid left in the pot, drain the cauliflower and return it to the pot.
- Mash, using a potato masher, or blend with a handheld blender or food processor.
- Add the olive oil, yogurt and, if using, butter, salt, and pepper and
mash until smooth. Serve right away, or cover and refrigerate
up to 2 days.
