Ingredients

  • 1 large head of cauliflower chopped
  • 2 cups kale or cabbage finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 green onions finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or extra butter (optional, for richness)

Instructions

  • Cook the cauliflower: Steam or boil the cauliflower florets until they are soft, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Cook the kale or cabbage: In a large pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped kale or cabbage and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and green onions, cooking for another 2 minutes.
  • Make the cauliflower mash: In a blender or food processor, blend the cooked cauliflower with the heavy cream and remaining butter until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Combine the mash and greens: Fold the sautéed kale or cabbage mixture into the mashed cauliflower. Stir to combine well. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Serve: For added richness, drizzle with olive oil or an extra dollop of butter. Serve hot as a perfect keto side dish.
