Cauliflower Cheese Mash With Thyme Recipes

MASHED CAULIFLOWER BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and steam until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer cauliflower to a bowl.
• Mash cauliflower with cream cheese until smooth; stir in Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Spoon mixture into a 1-quart casserole dish; top with Cheddar cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and Cheddar cheese is melted, 10 to 15 minutes.

CAULIFLOWER MASH

Steps:

• Bring an inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Place the cauliflower in a steamer basket set over the boiling water. Cover and steam for about 5 minutes, until the florets are fork tender. Transfer the florets to a high-powered blender or food processor.
• Add the garlic, cheese, heavy cream, butter, salt and pepper to the cauliflower. Blend until smooth and creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. After 1 minute, if there are still chunks, use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides, then process again until light, fluffy and completely smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
• Let the mash sit for 2 minutes to settle. Top with chives and serve with extra butter.

MASHED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine the cauliflower, milk, garlic, thyme and 1 teaspoon salt; heat over medium-high. When the mixture begins to bubble around the edges (you don't want it to come to a full boil), reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is very tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Place a colander over a bowl, then drain the cauliflower, catching the milk in the bowl. Discard the thyme sprigs. Return the cauliflower and garlic to the pot. Mash the cauliflower using a potato masher, or use an immersion blender to purée until smooth. Add the reserved milk 1 tablespoon at a time, mashing or blending in between, until the cauliflower reaches desired consistency. (You'll use about about 1/4 cup of milk.)
• Stir in the sour cream, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with additional thyme leaves.

CHEESY MASHED CAULIFLOWER RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Chop the head of cauliflower into florets.
• Bring a medium pot of water to boil over medium-high heat. Add a pinch of salt and the cauliflower and boil for 15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is soft.
• Drain the cauliflower, then return to the pot.
• Add the butter, salt, and milk to the cauliflower.
• Mash the ingredients together until most of the milk is absorbed and the texture is creamy.
• Add pepper and the cheddar cheese and stir to combine.
• Add the chives and mix.
• Garnish with chives and more cheddar cheese.
• Enjoy!

CHEESY MASHED CAULIFLOWER RECIPE (CAULIFLOWER MASH)

Steps:

• Cut the stalk off the cauliflower and chop the cauliflower head into 2-inch pieces.
• Fill a Dutch oven or stockpot 2/3rd full of water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Add 1-tablespoon table salt and the cauliflower and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook the cauliflower until very tender, about 20 minutes.
• Drain the cauliflower, and return it to the pot.
• Set the heat to LOW, and cook just until the excess moisture from the cauliflower cooks off, about 1 minute. Remove pan from the heat.
• Add 2 tablespoons butter, heavy cream, and pepper. Use an immersion blender or countertop blender to puree the cauliflower.
• Add the cheeses and season to taste with kosher salt, if needed.
• Serve immediately with a tab of butter and a sprinkle of fresh chives.
• Enjoy!

POTATO AND CAULIFLOWER MASH (MAKE AHEAD)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 220C/420F.
• Spread the cauliflower out on a baking tray in one layer and drizzle with the olive oil. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cauliflower is golden and almost caramelised.
• At the same time, boil the potato chunks until they are soft (about 15 minutes). Also warm the milk in a small saucepan with one of the thyme sprigs or the dried thyme.
• Put aside a small handful of the roasted cauliflower florets. Then put the rest into the bowl of a food processor and blend with a bit of the warm milk (thyme sprig removed!).
• Add the potato, butter, cheese and as much of the rest of the milk as you need to blend to a smooth puree.
• Finally, grind in plenty of salt and pepper and blend for a couple more seconds.
• Scrape the mash into a nice serving dish. Top with the reserved cauliflower florets, a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves (if using fresh) and a drizzle of olive oil.

CAULIFLOWER CHEESE MASH WITH THYME

Steps:

• Put the potato in a pan of salted water and bring to the boil. Add the cauliflower and boil both vegetables until tender. Meanwhile, heat the milk with the butter, thyme and cheese. When the veg is ready, drain well and blitz in a food processor.
• Gradually add the milk mixture (remove the thyme) until you get a smooth, thick purée. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Serve with sausages, if you like.
