A paleo, gluten free, dairy free puree that can be enhanced by any flavor profile you wish. An excellent vehicle for a braise or as a side dish to a grilled meat.
Ingredients
½ head of cauliflower, rough chopped
1 shallot, sliced
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
2/4 cup water
Salt and Pepper
Instructions
Saute the garlic and shallot in the olive oil in a medium sauce pan over medium-high heat until lightly brown and soft.
Add the cauliflower, and cook until lightly browned.
Add the water, and a healthy pinch of salt, scraping up any brown bits. Bring to a bubble and then cover.
Cook, covered about 15-20 minutes until fork tender.
Blend, or food process until smooth. Taste for salt and pepper.
Note- this can be flavored with any number of additions- curry, mustard, truffle, cheese, etc. Experiment!
