Ingredients:
- 4 cups cauliflower florets (from 1 medium [800 gram] head)
- 1 cup peeled and chopped carrot (from 2 medium carrots)
- 1/2 cup peeled and chopped sweet potato or yellow potato
- 1 large garlic clove, minced on a Microplane grater
- 2 to 3 tablespoons (30 to 45 mL) vegan butter, to taste
- Fine sea salt, to taste (I use about 3/4 teaspoon)
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions:
- Add cauliflower, carrots, and potato into a large pot. Cover with an inch or two of water. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-high and simmer, uncovered, for 12 to 15 minutes, until fork tender. You want the veggies nice and soft so they purée smooth.
- Drain the veggies in a colander. Allow them to cool for a few minutes.
- Add the veggies, minced garlic, butter, salt (start with 1/2 teaspoon), and pepper into a food processor and process until your desired texture is achieved. Taste and adjust the salt, if desired. Serve immediately.
- If you prefer a coarse texture to your mash, feel free to mash the veggies with a potato masher rather than processing them smooth. It's great both ways!
