SILKY SMOOTH CAULIFLOWER MASH By Alexx from Alexx Stuart | Serves 4-5 WHAT I SERVED IT WITH – • Flattened chicken breasts with herbs, citrus and purple onion 1 medium head of cauliflower • I caramelised a large purple onion in coconut oil. ¹⁄³ cup coconut cream (or whole cream if you eat it) • I flattened 2 chicken breasts and doused in lemon zest, dried orega no and a few fennel seeds. salt optional: add a tablespoon butter (Healhty Mama suggests: omit if vegan, paelo or dairy-free) THERMOMIX: 1 Set your timer to 18 minutes, temperature Varoma, an inch or two of water in the bottom, steamer basket in place. Once it’s going, cut all your cauliflower into small florets, stalks and all, and pop through the hole into the steamer basket, and then put the lid on. 2 Then, remove steamer basket with the spatula, safely. 3 Tip water out and pour cauliflower into the Thermomix bowl. 4 Add coconut cream and ¼ teaspoon salt to bowl. Puree on 7 for 1 minute. 5 You’re done. It should be amazingly light and silky. Feel free to add butter if you want a richer flavor. NORMAL METHOD: 6 Bring water to the boil and steam small florets of cauliflower for 15 minutes. 7 Then tip your well steamed cauliflower into a blender or into the saucepan to use a stick blender. Add your coconut cream and ¼ teaspoon sea salt and blitz until it looks silky smooth. 8 So simple. So enjoyable. HEALTHY MAMA MAGAZINE • Then added them to the pan and cooked, turning them often, for about 10 minutes. • I then added 1/3 cup of stock and ½ lemon squeezed in for the final couple of minutes cooking. • I took the heat off. I took the chicken breasts out. • I added a little olive oil to the pan to create an emulsion (thanks Marco Pierre White for that trick!) • Then, popped cauli puree on the bottom, sliced chook and caramelised onion on top, then a good spoon of the pan sauce. • Served with a carrot and mint salad with cultured veggies mixed in. • And then I got round to getting a pretty photo of it! DEE licious! 15
