Mashed Cauliflower
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!
Mashed Cauliflower
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.

Hi, I’m working my way throught your recipes they all look so delicious. My question though is, do you leave the dulse with the cauliflower when you puree it or take it out?
Thanks.
