Cauliflower Mash

So why is this the best cauliflower mash? That's a great question. I would love to answer that by saying that I am not known to exaggerate.

If a recipe isn't good I won't share it with you. If a recipe is great then I would go all out to let you know it is so that if you've been sitting on the fence about it, you can get off and make it already.

Just like I highly recommend my Keto bread for bread lovers, I highly recommend cauliflower mash also called caulimash if you are a mashed potato lover. It's versatile and you can easily make crock pot mashed potatoes with cauliflower too.

I won't say you won't notice the difference cos you would but this is so darn good and so close that the difference won't matter. You've got to try this. I love to serve this with air fryer garlic butter salmon or hot smoked salmon.

What is cauliflower mash or what is caulimash.

As the name implies, caulimash /cauliflower mash is simply mashed cauliflower. It serves as a substitute to mashed potatoes in recipes like bangers and mash if you are on a keto or low carb diet. You can even make it fun by making a purple cauliflower mash and serve with oven baked bone-in pork chops. Yum!!

To get the creamiest, silkiest mashed cauliflower, you need to have a few tricks under your belt.

• Remove as much stems as you can when cutting up the cauliflower. It may take a while to do that but well worth it.

• I like to cook my cauliflower in the microwave. If you'd prefer to cook the cauliflower on the stove top, you would need to use a steam basket. Cooking the cauliflower in the pot without a steam basket will add more water to an already water laden vegetable. Alternatively you can roast the cauliflower.

• Cook cauliflower till very soft so it blends easily.

• Use an immersion blender or a food processor. I used my ninja blender because it has blades that go right up and can serve as a food processor. I highly recommended a food processor or immersion blender is because it takes away the need for more liquid when puréeing the cauliflower which will be the case with a standard blender.

• Cream cheese and Parmesan cheese add flavor and texture to this keto mashed cauliflower 'potatoes'.
• Add a twist and make wasabi mashed potatoes by adding some wasabi mustard to your cauliflower mash or use it to make million dollar crock pot mashed potatoes.
• Finally you can serve this up with a nice garlic butter sauce or brown butter sage sauce.
