Mashed cauliflower with parmesan and chives is a delicious and low-carb alternative to traditional mashed potatoes. This creamy and flavorful dish combines the subtle taste of cauliflower with the rich umami of parmesan cheese and the fresh zest of chives. Whether you're looking to cut back on carbs or simply want to add a tasty vegetable side to your meal, this recipe is perfect for any occasion.
- Ensure you steam or boil the cauliflower until it's very tender; this makes it easier to mash and achieves a smoother consistency.
- For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender or a food processor instead of a hand masher.
- If you prefer a thicker mash, reduce the amount of butter or cream cheese slightly.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, particularly the salt, depending on the saltiness of your chicken broth cubes and parmesan cheese.
- Garnish with extra chives or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese for an added touch of flavor and presentation.
Mashed cauliflower with parmesan and chives is a delightful dish that will pleasantly surprise you with its smooth texture and rich flavors. It’s an excellent way to enjoy a creamy side dish with fewer carbs while still indulging in the comforting tastes you love. Serve this alongside your favorite protein or hearty main course for a well-rounded and satisfying meal.
