Okay I'll admit it - this whole cauliflower mash thing - had me very sceptical! I'm really not a huge fan of cauliflower! Tania, a lovely ThermoFunky member was nagging me to try it! My response was "Do I really have to" - in my best whiney 2yr old tantrum voice! Well reluctantly and eventually I made it! Now - I won't say I am ditching a typical mash but this thermomix cauliflower mash is really nice in a surprising way. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah okay Tania you were right! ..... ;) Many thanks for sharing your recipe. :)
This is a tasty alternative to mashed potato. The cauliflower turns a very creamy texture and is great if you follow a LCHF way of eating.
It was lovely served beside a really nice piece of bbq steak - but would also work well for a shepherd's pie style dish or even to compliment your normal "meat and 3 veg" dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 medium cauliflower, cut into small florets
- 800g boiling water from kettle
- 40g butter, cubed
- salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: snips of chives or other herbs
Instructions
- Place cauliflower and water into TM bowl and cook 16 mins / Varoma / speed 1 / Reverse.
- Place simmering basket into sink. With aid of spatula squeeze out as much water as possible to drain cauliflower well.
- Place cauliflower, butter, salt and pepper into TM bowl and mix 20 sec / speed 7.
- Stir through optional herbs.
Notes
The cauliflower mash freezes well.

Very easy and tasty version of cauliflower mash - I served this with the Krunchy Funky Chicken (using tenderloins), green beans and leftover gravy, and the other half was suitably impressed. Looking forward to using the leftover mash for a pie crust with leftover pulled smokey BBQ brisket . Love that your recipes are so versatile, thank you Leonie

This is a really tasty recipe. I really love mashed potato, and this cauliflower mash is just as delicious! I'm going to try it on the curried shpherd's pie next time.
