Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 cup Fresh or frozen green peas

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing the cauliflower head thoroughly. Remove the leaves and cut the cauliflower into small florets.

Step 2

Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Add a pinch of salt.

Step 3

Once the water is boiling, add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 10-12 minutes or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 4

While the cauliflower is cooking, if using fresh green peas, bring a smaller pot of water to a boil and blanch the peas for 2-3 minutes. If using frozen peas, rinse them under cold water to defrost.

Step 5

Drain the cooked cauliflower well and transfer to a food processor or blender. Add butter, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 6

Blend until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides. Adjust the seasoning to taste if necessary.

Step 7

Pour the blended cauliflower mash back into the pot, set over low heat, and keep warm.

Step 8

Add the prepared peas to the pot with the cauliflower mash and gently fold them in.

Step 9

Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Enjoy your Keto Mashed Cauliflower with Green Peas as a delicious side dish!
