Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower medium head, cut into florets
- 2 tbsp ghee or butter
- 1/4 cup half and half or milk of choice
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Steam cauliflower florets on the stove top until it is soft and you can easily pierce it with a fork. (You can also purchase fresh or frozen steamable bags of riced cauliflower and steam in the microwave to save time. I would recommend doing 2 bags.)
- Allow cauliflower to cool for a few minutes, then transfer to food processor or powerful blender. Add ghee/butter, spices and HALF of the milk/half & half, and pulse until partially combined.
- With a spoon or spatula, scrape down the sides and assess the texture. Very gradually add more milk/half & half as needed, until you reach the desired consistency. Note: You may not need all of the liquid, or may need more, depending on the size of your head of cauliflower. Don't add liquid too fast and make it runny!
- Pulse until well combined and it reaches a creamy texture, similar to that of regular mashed potatoes.
- Serve warm. Garnish with green onions if desired.
