How To Make Garlic and Chive Cauliflower Mash Step By Step
Step #1: Place the cauliflower florets and the garlic cloves into a steamer basket set over a pot of gently boiling water. Cover and steam until the cauliflower is fork-tender, around 15 minutes. (note: steaming the garlic along with the cauliflower will remove the raw edge and make it more tender).
Step #2: Then transfer the cauliflower and garlic to a food processor or blender and add the olive oil, almond milk, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step #3: Season the mixture with salt and black pepper and process until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasonings, as desired.
