Mashed cauliflower tastes similar to mashed potatoes but with fewer carbs. Top with chopped herbs like chives, dill or scallions.
1 head cauliflower
3-4 tablespoons vegan butter or butter flavored coconut oil
1 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
Herbs for topping
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add cauliflower or potatoes and garlic and cook until very tender, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid and then drain well and transfer cauliflower to a food processor. Add oil and reserved water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and puree until smooth. (Or mash with a potato masher). Season with salt and pepper and serve.
