Instructions

Steam the Cauliflower and Garlic
Begin by placing 5 cups of cauliflower florets and 1 garlic clove into a steamer basket set over a pot of boiling water. Steam the cauliflower and garlic for approximately 15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender enough to be easily pierced with a fork. This step ensures that your mashed cauliflower will be silky smooth. -
Drain and Transfer
Once tender, carefully remove the cauliflower and garlic from the steamer and drain any excess water thoroughly. This is important to prevent a watery mash. Transfer the drained cauliflower and garlic to a blender or food processor. -
Blend to Creamy Perfection
Add in 1/4 cup of mayonnaise and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Blend or process the mixture until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency. You may need to stop occasionally to scrape down the sides, ensuring that every bit of cauliflower is well incorporated. -
Serve and Enjoy
Spoon the creamy mashed cauliflower into a serving dish. For an extra touch, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a dash of black pepper if desired. This dish is best enjoyed warm as a side for roasted meats, grilled fish, or even alongside a fresh salad.
