Creamy Garlic Faux-tatoes
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower leaves removed, florets and core cut into 2” pieces
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 ½ tsp sea salt plus more to taste
- 2 tbsp coconut oil or ghee
- 3 sprigs thyme minced (leaves only)
- fresh ground pepper to taste
Directions
- Fill a large stock pot with two inches of water and place a steamer basket inside. Cover pot with a tight fitting lid and bring to a boil.
- When water reaches a boil add cauliflower and garlic. Steam until soft, approximately 10 minutes (just make sure they’re soft). Remove from heat and drain cauliflower and garlic in a colander in the sink.
- When the water has fully drained, place cauliflower, garlic and salt in a food processor or high speed blender with oil or ghee, thyme and fresh pepper. Process everything until smooth. Add sea salt and pepper if needed!
