CAULIFLOWER PURéE RECIPE BY TASTY



Cauliflower Purée Recipe by Tasty image

If you like creamy mashed potatoes, this cauliflower purée is for you! Made with just 5 ingredients (that happen to be vegan), it's silky smooth and full of savory flavor from nutritional yeast and garlic powder (add an optional pinch of nutmeg for a hint of the holidays). Super quick to whip up, the purée is a standout side for holiday gatherings and weeknight dinners alike!

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 medium heads of cauliflower
1 cup full-fat coconut milk, or vegetable broth
½ cup nutritional yeast
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
nutmeg, optional

Steps:

  • Fill the bottom of a double boiler halfway with water. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.

  • Rinse off the cauliflower and dry with a paper towel. Place cauliflower on a cutting board and remove any "stems" and leaves. Place both heads of cauliflower in a large pot with enough water to cover an inch above the vegetables. Boil on medium-high heat until cauliflower is tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove cauliflower from pot and allow to drain and cool to the touch. Remove all white "heads" from the cauliflower and place them in a bowl. Discard the stem.
  • While cauliflower is cooking, rinse and slice the leeks then peel and chop the garlic. In a sauté pan over medium/high heat, melt 3 tablespoons butter. Reduce heat to medium then add sliced leeks and chopped garlic, cooking until leeks are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Using a food processor, purée cooked cauliflower and sautéd leeks and garlic in batches. Place purée mixture in a large mixing bowl. Add 2 tablespoons melted butter and stir until well blended. Add the yogurt and blend until purée is creamy. Add salt and pepper and taste for seasonings. Top with chopped chives.
