Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Low Carb Cheddar Garlic Cauliflower Mash.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a large pot and tossing in your chopped cauliflower, garlic cloves, and a fragrant bay leaf.
Step 2
Pour in enough water to completely cover these fresh ingredients, creating a cozy bath for them.
Step 3
Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring it to a lively boil.
Step 4
Once you see those bubbles dancing, lower the heat and let it simmer gently for about 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and ready to shine.
Step 5
After the cooking time, carefully drain the cauliflower and garlic, making sure to toss out the bay leaf—it’s done its job.
Step 6
Now, transfer the drained mixture into a blender, where the magic happens! Add in some shredded Cheddar cheese, a generous dollop of butter, and a splash of sour cream for that creamy goodness.
Step 7
Blend everything together until you achieve your perfect consistency—smooth and velvety or a bit chunky, it’s all up to you! Don’t forget to season with a pinch of salt and a dash of ground black pepper to elevate those flavors, then give it another quick blend to mix it all in.
Step 8
And there you have it—a deliciously creamy cauliflower and garlic blend that’s sure to impress! Enjoy your creation as a delightful side dish or a comforting main event.
