Cauliflower "mashed potatoes"

Super easy, homey comfort food. The touch of sweet potato masks the cauliflower flavor just enough so that its a very kid friendly recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup vegetable stock (could try it with water, but it will be significantly less flavorful).
  • 1 medium sized sweet potato
  • 2 heads cauliflower (medium sized) (or 2 bags of frozen. no real difference).
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tsp butter or 2 tsp canola or other mild oil
Equipment:
  • 6 qt stock pot (or something else in this range)
  • immersion blender
Directions:
  • place stock in the pot, and turn on high with the cover on
  • peel and chop the sweet potato and place it in the stock
  • wash and cut the cauliflower into florets, and place it into the pot.
  • Let the cauliflower steam until it it easily mushed with a fork, then add the butter/oil and the salt
  • puree it all with an immersion blender and eat with a spoon.
