Grilled Onion + cauliflower mash
This is one of my go-to Thanksgiving recipes that I really wanted to share. I hope you love it as much as I do. Cauliflower is a surprisingly amazing substitute for potatoes. I dare anyone not to love these!
Grilled Onion & Cauliflower Mash
4-6 servings | 40 minutes | Make ahead recipe
Ingredients
1 head cauliflower (chopped)
2-3 tablespoons cooking fat (butter, ghee, avocado, oil or coconut oil - your choice)
2 yellow onions, sliced into thin half moons
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Optional: 1-3 tablespoons chicken or vegetable stock to thin .
Optional: 2-3 cloves garlic minced (cook with the onions)
Optional: 1-2 potatoes, chopped (steam with the cauliflower)
Directions
Thinly slice 2 yellow onions and sauté in cooking fat of choice over medium low heat until caramelized. Note: this can take a while- you don't want them burnt, but really nice and brown.
While the onions cook, place several inches of water in a large pot. Place steamer basket in pot and add chopped cauliflower.
Turn heat to high, cover, and steam the cauliflower until very soft.
In a food processor, add in the steamed cauliflower, caramelized onions (make sure to get the cooking fat in there too), and a generous amount of sea salt and black pepper.
Add salt/pepper/broth/ cooking fat to taste.
