Step-by-step
- Wash the cauliflower and cut into smaller florets.
- Place on a steaming rack inside a pot filled with ~ 2 inches of water.
- Bring to a boil and cook for about 10 minutes. Do not overcook.
- You can also bake the cauliflower in the oven. To do so, preheat the oven to 225 C / 450 F.
- Place the florets on a baking tray and transfer into the oven.
- Bake for about 20 minutes. This is a fool-proof method for those who get watery mash. However, if you steam (not boil) your cauliflower, you shouldn't get watery mash.
- Heat a pan greased with 2 tablespoons of the ghee and add chopped onion and garlic.
- Cook for about 5 minutes until slightly browned. Keep stirring to prevent burning and take off the heat.
- Place the cooked cauliflower into a blender and add the cooked onion and another 2 tablespoons of butter or ghee.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Pulse until smooth and creamy.
- For an even creamier texture, add soured cream or cream cheese (or skip for dairy-free).
- Place in a serving bowl and add more ghee or butter on top.
- Enjoy!
