Mashed Cauliflower

Mashed Cauliflower

1 pound cauliflower florets, trimmed and washed
1 garlic clove, crushed (about 1 teaspoon)
1 teaspoon coconut oil
1/2 cup light coconut milk (Trader Joe's)
Salt and pepper to taste

Steam the cauliflower until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain. Place in blender or food processor. In a small sauce pan, heat the coconut oil and lightly saute garlic briefly (do not burn the garlic). Add coconut milk and heat just until warm.

With the food processor running, pour the garlic/milk mixture through the top into the cauliflower and process until smooth. (30 to 60 seconds). 

Use as you would mash potatoes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, chives or paprika if desired.
