Ingredients
1large head of fresh cauliflower
3tablespoonsavocado oilolive oil will work, but avocado will give you a richer flavor that is closer to a buttery taste.
dash of sea salt or pink Himalayan salt
dairy free butter alternative to top as shown in photo or use a bit more avocado oil.optional
Instructions
Chop the cauliflower into roughly similar sized pieces, the smaller they are the faster they will cook-but sometimes really small pieces are lost in the cooking/steaming process.
Cook or steam, I prefer steaming, the cauliflower until it is fall part soft.
Heat a large nonstick pan to medium high heat and add the avocado oil or olive oil until it is really hot but not a smoking point concern.
Once the oil is hot for a minute or two, add in enough steamed/cooked cauliflower to fill just one layer on the bottom of the pan. Watching carefully, let the cauliflower sizzle and turn golden brown on a few sides before turning off the heat.
Add a little bit of salt while it is sizzling.
Place as much of the cauliflower as possible into to your food processor or blender and turn on high until smooth-and then blend again for another minute to make sure it is light as air.
Transfer to a serving dish and if you like, add a bit of avocado oil or butter substitute and salt. Serve and enjoy!
