Let's gather the ingredients!
- 2 heads cauliflower
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ½ tsp kosher salt to taste
- 1 pinch black pepper to taste
- ⅓ cup almond milk unsweetened
Let's Begin!
Cut the cauliflower into even florets, then boil them in a large pot filled with boiling water on medium-high heat, until very tender.
Remove from heat, then strain the florets. Set aside uncovered to cool slightly.
In a small skillet over medium heat, saute the garlic in olive oil for 2-3 minutes or until just slightly browned. Turn off the heat, and set aside.
Using a food processor, puree the cooked cauliflower until smooth or a little bit chunky, depending on your preference. Add the almond milk slowly while blending.
Transfer the blended cauliflower to a large bowl, then add half of the garlic oil and half of the salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning to your preference as needed.
Transfer to a bowl or serving platter, then drizzle with more garlic oil. Garnish with chives or other herbs.
Serve warm, and enjoy with family and friends!
