Let’s Talk Three Ingredient Cauliflower Purée:

Cauliflower is high in fiber, Vitamin C, folate and contains many phtyochemicals common in plants that are members the cabbage family. Cauliflower is also high in sulforaphane, a nutrient known to have anti-cancer benefits. All this and almost no carbs so you can indulge even if you’re on a restricted food plan!

 What are the three ingredients?

Cauliflower, butter (or clarified butter or ghee for my Whole 30 friends) and sea salt! If you wish, you can  freshly ground pepper and garnish with parsley.

 So versatile!

I frequently use cauliflower purée as a side dish because it goes well with just about any protein main course as well as salads. My latest obsession is making a maple version topped with roasted lemon chicken breasts! It makes the perfect mash potato substitute, and is pretty enough to make even for the holidays!
