Mashed cauliflower is a fantastic side dish and a great alternative to mashed potatoes. I am not a huge cauliflower fan, but I love this recipe. This is without a doubt the best cauliflower dish I have ever tried.
This is a simple and easy side dish. Don’t you just love that kind of recipe?
Ingredients
1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets and steamed
3 tablespoons butter
2 garlic cloves
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper
1/3 cup grated cheddar cheese
½ cup heavy cream
¼ cup crème fraiche
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
Directions
1. Place all the ingredients in the food processor and process until smooth consistency.
2. Place the mixture in a medium pot over low heat, stirring often. Serve warm.

Happy New Year Erica to you and your family…This looks soo delicious ! I love the idea of all the spices combined with the parmesan…!
Happy New Year Erica. Mashed cauliflower has just become gourmet. Love the spices and the cheese added.
I used to eat mashed cauliflower by the truck load when I was doing the Atkins Diet back in early 2000. I wish I had your recipe back then. This is way more gourmet and tastier looking than my boiled cauliflower head mashed up with a chicken bouillon cube.
Happy New Year to you, Erica. Mashed cauliflower looks totally delicious and yummy.

We love cauliflowers, have them at least once a week. However I have never prepared it in this lines. Very different and flavorful.
I enjoy cauliflower….and I’d love to give this a try. Funny thing..I bought some cauliflower today at the store and thought to myself…i’ll find something interesting to do with it, I’m sure. And look….here it is!
