Who needs mashed potatoes when you can have vegetable mash that is just as heavenly? All it takes is a few easy steps to achieve rich, creamy and nutty cauliflower mash. The buttery, garlic flavor of this cauliflower mash is the perfect side for many dishes. I especially love it served with Braised Mushroom Short Ribs.

1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 tbsp (14 g) butter
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 tsp fresh rosemary
Sea salt and black pepper
Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill the pan with water to just below the bottom of the steamer.
Bring the water to a boil, add the cauliflower, cover and steam until the cauliflower is fork tender, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan and add the garlic and rosemary. Sauté for about 1 minute, until the garlic is fragrant. Remove the pan from the heat and set it aside.
Transfer the cauliflower to a food processor and pulse on high until it’s almost smooth. Pour the butter mixture over the cauliflower. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to blend the mixture until it’s well combined and smooth.
PRO TIP: The possibilities are endless when it comes to how you can flavor your cauliflower mash. Try using other herbs, such as thyme and oregano, instead of rosemary. You can also add sour cream, cream cheese or Parmesan cheese.
