Garlic Mashed Cauliflower
I find cauliflower quite watery when cooked, so I didn’t add any extra milk, cream or liquid. If you want to make this garlic mashed cauliflower (also known as cauliflower mashed potatoes) extra rich and creamy, you can simply add a little grated parmesan cheese.

Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 4 cloves garlic, peel removed
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 cups water, plus more as needed
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
- Parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Remove the leaves from the cauliflower, break the cauliflower up into florets or chop up the head into pieces.
- In a large pot, combine broth, water, cauliflower, and garlic, adding extra water as needed until cauliflower is completely covered.
- Bring to a boil and then cook on a simmer for 15-20 minutes until cauliflower is tender and can easily be pierced with a fork.
- Once cooked, in a large colander, strain cauliflower and garlic cloves (do not discard garlic).
- Return strained cauliflower and garlic to the original pot (off the heat), add butter, olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Using a potato masher, mash together until a smooth consistency is formed. If you want it extra creamy, add ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth.
- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle with chopped parsley as desired.
