Creamy Cocunut Lime Cauliflower Mash Food

THE CREAMIEST CAULIFLOWER MASH {KETO + DAIRY-FREE}

Steps:

• Using a steamer set, fill the bottom pot about halfway with water and place on the stovetop. Heat the water on high until it comes to a full boil.
• Cut out the bottom stalk of the cauliflower head and remove any leaves. Break it apart into medium-sized florets and then rinse.
• When the water boils, turn down the temperature to medium and place the cauliflower into the top half (steamer basket) of the steamer set. Cover with a lid.
• Steam the cauliflower for 5 minutes then gently stir the florets. Cover again and steam for another 5-10 minutes, checking after 5 minutes to see if the cauliflower is done. The cauliflower is ready when you can easily pierce it with a fork.
• Remove the steamer from the stovetop and carefully transfer the cauliflower into a high-speed blender or food processor.
• Pour in the coconut milk, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and garlic (optional), then blend or process on high speed until the cauliflower mash is smooth.
• Taste and adjust, if needed, adding more salt or more coconut milk (only add about 1 tablespoon at a time) if it needs to be creamier or saltier.
• Transfer the mash into a bowl and serve with chopped chives or other "mashed potatoes" toppings.
