AuthorKevin PetrizioMashed cauliflower tastes just like mashed potatoes! No, not really. Mashed cauliflower tastes just like, well, mashed cauliflower! And that's okay. Because we can make it a delicious side dish to almost any main course. Serve it with fish, chicken, beef or pork. There are countless dishes you can prepare that this will compliment!
Put about 2 cups of water into a pot that will hold your steamer basket. If you don't have a steamer basket, place a dish upside down into the pot and fill with water until it comes just up to the top of the plate.
Add a heavy pinch of Morton's Lite Salt to the water
Put pot on high until it boils. Lower to medium low when it starts to boil.
Add cauliflower florets to the pot, cover and let them steam for 10 minutes.
Cauliflower is done when a fork pierces the stem end easily. We want them on the mushy side
When done, remove cauliflower and allow to drain for a few minutes.
Using a potato masher or a big fork, gently mash the florets to break them up.
Stir in butter and spices.
Mash the mixture until it gets to the consistency of mashed potatoes.
Top with a pinch of chives if desired and enjoy with your favorite main dish. Serve 1/2 cup per serving. This should make 4 servings.
