Ingredients
- 1 cup of vegetable broth + 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon of salt, plus more to taste
- 1 head of cauliflower, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (don't worry about keeping florets intact)
- 2 Tablespoons of vegan butter, cut into chunks
- 1 teaspoon of chopped fresh thyme
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring the broth, water and salt to a boil. Add the cauliflower; bring back to a boil. Cover and reduce the heat to low and steam for 20 minutes, or until cauliflower is very tender.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cauliflower to a food processor. Add 3 tablespoons of vegetable broth/water from the pot, along with the vegan butter. Process until smooth.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and freshly ground pepper. Add thyme and process until just combined.

Notes
- Save time and prep: By using pre-packed riced cauliflower. Adjust the cooking time accordingly (around 10 minutes boiling).
- Avoid colored cauliflower: We've tried with purple cauliflower, and the texture/consistency was just 'off.'
- To boost the favor: You can lightly sauté the broccoli in a little vegan butter before boiling it (or roast it).
- Don't undercook the cauliflower: you want it super tender (almost mushy) to become smooth and creamy vegan mashed cauliflower.
