Mashed cauliflower is a classic mashed potato substitute. It’s very satisfying, and since cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable, it’s also very healthy! There are countless variations possible. This one is quite simple. So, you can always dress it up with whatever herbs and spices you like, or even some grass-fed butter. Here we used the whole head of cauliflower, except the outer green leaves. Which means you can cut up the stem and heart and throw it into the pot too. Depending on what you have in the refrigerator, you could also add a little rutabaga or cabbage heart to the pot.
