Cauliflower and Leek Mash Recipe

This is the third cauliflower mash recipe I’ve shared so far on my 2 month old blog.

I just LOVE experimenting with different cauliflower mash flavour varieties and you’re going to absolutely love this one!

I was inspired by a traditional Swiss recipe for Leek and Potato Mash but swapped out the carb heavy potatoes for cauliflower.

Leek can be a little carb heavy, depending on the size and how much you include in your mash.

Use as little or as much as you want – any chopped leek adds a wonderful flavour, so it’s up to you!

Include as much butter, cream and seasoning as you like to create the consistency you’re wanting.

Start with a couple of tablespoons or so of each and keep adding more until it’s creamy to your liking.

As you can see, I like mine to be wonderfully buttery and include a generous portion of butter to my mash.

Creamy Cauliflower Mash

I honestly prefer creamy cauliflower mash as a tasty substitute to mashed potatoes.

I find there is just so much more flavour and complexity to a creamy bowl full of cauliflower mash that I would happily enjoy it on it’s own.

Although, this does make an irresistible keto side dish and is perfect topped with a couple of low carb sausages, corned beef or roast lamb.

You can really make this dish as creamy (or extra creamy) as you want, simply by adding more butter, mascarpone, cream cheese or almond milk.

If you do want to just enjoy it by the bowl full, then consider simply topping a portion with a (generous) sprinkling of Parmesan. Simple and delicious!
