Tips:

  • For a creamier mash, add a bit more milk or non-dairy milk.
  • For extra flavour, you can add grated Parmesan cheese, fresh herbs like dill or chives, or a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • To make it extra creamy, you can use a food processor or blender to puree the cauliflower.
  • Cauliflower mash can be served with any main dish, but it pairs particularly well with roasted meats or fish.
