Ingredients

  • 1 medium cauliflower broken into florets
  • 2 tablespoons butter separated (I use dairy free butter)
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed or chopped
  • 2 tablespoons milk I use oat milk
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon flat leaf parsley finely chopped

Instructions

  • Place the cauliflower florets in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and then simmer for around 10 minutes until soft.
  • Drain.
  • Using the same saucepan heat a tablespoon of vegan butter until melted. Add 2 cloves of chopped garlic and fry for 30 seconds.
  • Remove from the heat and add the cooked cauliflower to the pan along with the other tablespoon of vegan butter, 2 tablespoons oat milk, a tablespoon of nutritional yeast (if using) and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Mash until well combined. If you prefer you can purée the mixture at this stage for a really smooth texture.
  • Serve with the chopped flat leaf parsley sprinkled on top.
