Cauliflower and White Bean Puree

Delicious & Creamy!

I’ve been mashing and pureeing cauliflower for a while now – but I am loving the addition of white beans! They really add a more creamy, fluffy texture – very much like mashed potatoes! (If you need to go a little lower carb, you can swap the beans for more cauliflower!)

We really enjoy this creamy Cauliflower and White Bean Puree as a side dish, a topping for shepherd’s pie or nestled alongside a saucy braised dish such as pot roast, beef stew, osso buco or beef braciola.

The cauliflower and beans are simmered/steamed in broth with garlic and rosemary. They really soak up all those delicious flavors!

Once the cauliflower is tender, remove the rosemary and puree with your hand/immersion blender. You can also puree in a traditional blender or food processor.

A little butter, cream cheese and Parmesan cheese amp up the flavor and creaminess!

Cauliflower and white beans combine with rosemary and garlic to make a delicious and creamy puree! We love to enjoy this side dish as we would mashed potatoes or soft polenta. (If you need to go a little lower carb, you can swap the beans for more cauliflower!)
