Creamy Cauliflower Alfredo

By á-49144

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon coconut oil, or butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 12 ounces cauliflower florets
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
• black pepper, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Saute the minced garlic in the coconut oil or butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Allow to cook for a few minutes, until the garlic is tender and fragrant, but not browned.

Add the 1 cup of water to the saucepan, along with the cauliflower, and bring the water to a boil. (The water will not cover the cauliflower, and that's okay.) Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot for 25-30 minutes, until the cauliflower is very tender and very soft.

Transfer the entire contents of the saucepan into a blender or food processor, and season with salt and pepper. Process until very smooth and creamy, with a texture similar to traditional cream sauce. (Always be careful when blending hot liquids-- the steam pressure can blow the lid off your blender!)

Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired, and serve hot.
