Welcome to a deliciously creamy and cheesy take on a classic side dish, perfect for any meal. This quick and easy cauliflower mash is a low-carb alternative that doesn’t skimp on flavor. With just a handful of ingredients and simple steps, you'll have a delightful side dish ready in no time.

Ingredients

🥦 1 large cauliflower, chopped
🧄 3 cloves garlic, minced
🥛 1 cup heavy cream
🧀 1 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar or your choice)
🧈 2 tablespoons butter
🌿 1 cup spinach, chopped
🧂 1 teaspoon salt
🧂 1/2 teaspoon pepper
🌶️ 1/2 teaspoon paprika


Instructions

1- Prepare the Cauliflower:

  • Cut the cauliflower into smaller, uniform pieces for even cooking.
  • Place the chopped cauliflower into a steamer or colander over boiling water, cover with a lid, and steam until tender, about 10 minutes.

2- Make the Cheese Sauce:

  • In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Stir in the shredded cheese, mixing continuously until it is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.

3- Combine Ingredients:

  • Add the cooked cauliflower to the cheese sauce.
  • Use a potato masher or immersion blender to mash the cauliflower directly in the skillet. Adjust the texture to your preference, either smooth or slightly chunky.
  • Stir in the chopped spinach and fold it into the mash until wilted.

4- Season and Serve:

  • Season the mash with salt, pepper, and paprika, adjusting to taste.
  • Serve hot as a side dish with your choice of main dishes like steak, salmon, or shrimp, or alongside roasted broccoli for a nutritious meal.
