Cauliflower Mash And Asparagus Recipe

Prepare Ingredients

Gather all the ingredients: 1 large cauliflower, 1 bunch of asparagus, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 garlic cloves (minced), salt, and pepper to taste.

Cook Cauliflower

Cut the cauliflower into florets and steam them for about 10-12 minutes until they are tender. You can also boil them in water until soft.

Mash Cauliflower

Drain the cauliflower if boiled, then place it in a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Use a blender or food processor to mash until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Cook Asparagus

While the cauliflower is steaming or boiling, trim the tough ends off the asparagus. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the asparagus and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender but still crisp. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve

Serve the mashed cauliflower with the sautéed asparagus on the side. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped herbs like parsley or chives.
