This is a go-to side dish when you’re following the SCD diet : quickly done, versatile enough to go with lots of meat dishes… Or stay on its own if you’re in need of a vegetarian dinner : add roasted chickpeas or/and seasoned almonds on top, for a filling main.

And it doesn’t taste much like cauliflower, which makes it rather kids friendly 🙂

All you need is (love 😉 ) and :

1 cauliflower
1 tbsp + 10g of olive oil (or butter)
60g of almond flour
salt, pepper blend, and water.
smoked paprika (optional)

I like to sprinkle smoked paprika and fresh parsley on top, but it’s optional.

Looking for something green instead? Try this cream of broccoli (dairy-free and incredibly creamy).

Mashed Cauliflower (creamy and versatile)

Prep Time20

Cook Time10

Course: Main Course, Side Dish, Snack

Cuisine: American, French

Ingredients

1 cauliflower
10 g + 1 tbsp olive oil (or butter)
60 g almond flour
1 tsp salt
1 pinch smoked paprika, pepper (optional)
1 tbsp fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

Rinse the cauliflower and cut it in florets, all of even sizes.
Heat a pan on medium high heat. Add a tbsp of olive oil (or butter), and sauté the cauliflower. You want it brown on the sides, but not burnt.
One it's evenly roasted, add 1 cm of water in the pan, and reduce the heat to medium low. Partially cover with a lid, and let it cook about 10', until the water has evaporated and the cauliflower is tender.
Pour the cauliflower in a blender. Add 10 g of olive oil, 60 g of almond flour and a tsp of salt, pepper blend if you like pepper, and blend on high for 1-2 minutes, until you get a creamy consistency. You don't need to add any liquid, as the cauliflower contains water.
Ready !
Add smoked paprika and fresh parsley on top (optional).
Serve warm, with butterless butter chicken, roasted chicken, low-temperature pork tenderloin….. Check my website for recipes 🙂
You may also keep it vegetarian : add some crispy roasted chickpeas on top, or seasoned almonds (check these recipes on my website). Or both. It's delicious !
