Cauliflower Mash


I have had to give up some not so healthy food choices and comfort foods on my journey to better living. Mashed potatoes is one of my favorite comfort foods of all time and I really crave them in times of illness and stress. I am happy to tell you that I have found a healthier choice to my starchy love - cauliflower mash. I hope you enjoy this great alternative to the classic version.

1 head cauliflower
2 tablespoon sour cream (light sour cream if you prefer)
2 tablespoons beef broth
1 tablespoon Ghee (clarified butter)
1 tablespoon Parmesan
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper

Remove florets from cauliflower stem and place in a colander over water then cover and steam for 25-30 minutes on medium high heat. The florets need to be very soft to mash, firm or only slightly soft will result in a lumpy texture. Once fully steamed, place the cooked cauliflower in a large mixing bowl or mixer and add remaining ingredients. When using a mixer start with a slow mix increasing the speed as you go. I like to dress a plate with the mash as a base or platform for my protein of choice.
