Ohhhhh cauliflower puree how I adore thee!  I’m a late bloomer to mashed cauliflower.  I never liked mashed potatoes so I never wanted an alternative.  I don’t even remember what provoked me to try mashed cauliflower but since I have, I’ve been a devoted mashed cauliflower follower!

I served this dish at the first paleo potluck I hosted.  It received rave reviews which I found confusing.  I was like, it’s just cauliflower and ghee and some salt….haven’t you had any before?  I hear most people’s cauliflower ends up a watery mashed mess.  Here’s what I do and it’s not complicated.

p.s. I enjoy adding dulse to dishes like this.  I got this tip from following Terry Wahls (my hero!).  She says to add dulse/seaweed to dishes like soups/stews etc for extra iodine.

Ingredients

• 1/4 head of cauliflower, chopped
• Sea salt
• Dulse
• 1/4 cup of unsalted butter/ghee
• 1/8 tsp-1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

1. Place the cauliflower into a pot and add enough water to cover the cauliflower.
2. Sprinkle some salt and dulse into the water.
3. Boil for 15 minutes.
4. Drain the water from the pot. *Very important to drain all the water.
5. Add the butter or ghee to the pot.
6. Sprinkle 1/8 tsp of salt into the pot.
7. Use a
   hand blender and puree the cauliflower and butter until smooth.
8. Adjust salt as necessary.
