Creamy Keto Mash

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup basil ((freshly chopped, thyme and oregano))
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/4 cup pesto ((freshly chopped, thyme and oregano))
• 1/2 tsp turmeric
• 1 tsp curry powder
• 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1 cauliflower (large
• 1 white onion ((freshly chopped, thyme and oregano))
• 2 clove garlic
• 1/4 cup ghee ((freshly chopped, thyme and oregano))
• 1/2 tsp salt ((freshly chopped, thyme and oregano))
• ground black pepper ((freshly chopped, thyme and oregano))
• 1/2 cup cream cheese ((freshly chopped, thyme and oregano))

Instructions

1. Wash the cauliflower and cut into smaller florets.
2. Place on a steaming rack inside a pot filled with ~ 2 inches of water.
3. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10 minutes.
4. Do not overcook.
5. You can also bake the cauliflower in the oven.
6. To do so, preheat the oven to 225 °C/ 450 °F.
7. Place the florets on a baking tray and transfer into the oven.
8. Bake for about 20 minutes.
9. This is a fool-proof method for those who get watery mash.
10. However, if you steam (not boil) your cauliflower, you shouldn't get watery mash.
11. Heat a pan greased with 2 tablespoons of the ghee and add chopped onion and garlic.
12. Cook for about 5 minutes until slightly browned.
13. Keep stirring to prevent burning and take off the heat.
14. Place the cooked cauliflower into a blender and add the cooked onion and another 2 tablespoons of butter or ghee.
15. Season with salt and pepper.
16. Pulse until smooth and creamy.
17. I'm using my Kenwood mixer with a blender attachment.
18. For an even creamier texture, add soured cream or cream cheese (or skip for dairy-free).
19. Enjoy!
