Mashed Cauliflower "Potatoes"


This mashed cauliflower recipe is such a fun and easy new way to try cauliflower. Its especially helpful if you or someone you know is allergic to potatoes. Cauliflower comes in many varieties seasonally including white, orange, and purple. Enjoy!


1 medium head cauliflower, trimmed and cut into small florets (6 - 7 cups)
1-tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add cauliflower and cook until very tender, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid and then drain well and transfer cauliflower to a food processor. Add oil and reserved water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and puree until smooth or mash cauliflower with a potato masher. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
