MASHED CAULIFLOWER



Mashed Cauliflower image

For surprisingly flavorful and creamy mashed cauliflower, cook your florets not in water but in a gently simmering pot of milk seasoned with garlic and thyme. When the cauliflower is mashed (or blended), the pectin in the cauliflower will thicken and smooth the mash. Add the garlic- and herb-infused milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach a light, silky consistency. All that's needed is a little sour cream for tang. Save the leftover infused milk for braising white beans, a can of tomatoes, or for making more mashed cauliflower.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large (2-pound) cauliflower, cut into small florets and core coarsely chopped
2 cups whole milk
2 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
4 sprigs fresh thyme, plus more leaves for garnish
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons sour cream
Black pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the cauliflower, milk, garlic, thyme and 1 teaspoon salt; heat over medium-high. When the mixture begins to bubble around the edges (you don't want it to come to a full boil), reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is very tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Place a colander over a bowl, then drain the cauliflower, catching the milk in the bowl. Discard the thyme sprigs. Return the cauliflower and garlic to the pot. Mash the cauliflower using a potato masher, or use an immersion blender to purée until smooth. Add the reserved milk 1 tablespoon at a time, mashing or blending in between, until the cauliflower reaches desired consistency. (You'll use about about 1/4 cup of milk.)
  • Stir in the sour cream, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with additional thyme leaves.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality vegetables: Fresh vegetables will have a better flavor and texture than vegetables that have been sitting around for a while. Look for vegetables that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
  • Roast the vegetables before mashing them: Roasting the vegetables brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. It also helps to caramelize the vegetables, which gives them a slightly smoky flavor.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can add a lot of flavor to mashed vegetables. Some good options include garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, paprika, and cumin.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and bland. Cook the vegetables until they are tender but still have a little bit of bite to them.
  • Mash the vegetables with a potato masher or a fork: You can use a potato masher or a fork to mash the vegetables. If you use a potato masher, be careful not to overmash the vegetables, as this can make them gluey.

Conclusion:

Mashed vegetables are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. They are also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. With a little planning and effort, you can make mashed vegetables that are both flavorful and nutritious. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, give mashed vegetables a try.
