Here's a Tip.. Put the cauliflower into a mesh bag, but instead of using your hands to squeeze out the hot liquid, put the bag in a colander or bowl and press down on it with a potato masher. It will only take about a minute to do and you can get the cauliflower bone dry

Cauliflower has a very distinct flavor. If you try to pass it off as potatoes, people tend to not like it. But add in mushrooms, turnips, and parsnips and you get a more ambiguous flavor. While it still won’t pass for potatoes, it doesn’t taste like cauliflower. I’ve had people ask me “what do you put in your potatoes?”
@TheSaltedPepper3 жыл бұрын
This version is so good, I like it better than mashed potatoes. I feel like cauliflower is a blank canvas that takes on the flavors of anything you add. Sure, it has its own flavor to a certain degree, but I've never added anything to cauliflower that clashed with it.
@lorettacali103703 жыл бұрын
I love love parsnips! But since we love cauliflower, if I don't add anything they would still enjoy it. Thanks!

I agree with you particularly at this point however the video helped me to get less runny puree to enhance cauliflowery flavour in certain recipes. If such a real food like cauliflower seems bland/neutral enough to pass off as "non-starchy alternative" to traditional champ, fufu, humita or chungmu-gimbap, then (unless orthorexia has numbed taste/texture/smell sensors completely) the ingredient is surely not of good quality.

It doesn't have that cauliflower taste which I don't like with the addition of cream cheese, parmesan and garlic. It is so, so good! I used to be addicted to potatoes but this is one recipe that is even better

Steam the cauliflower earlier so it has time to cool before squeezing out the liquid. Also, adding cream cheese instead of cream or sour cream adds that creaminess without adding back liquid.

Cream cheese and sour cream completely changes the flavor though. This version is so good, I hope you try it.

There are lots of KZbin videos for cauliflower mashed “potatoes”. But I watched your video because I’ve had the problem of it being too watered down. Your method was very smart and worked perfectly for drying up the water from the cauliflower. That made a big difference! Using the Instant Pot works so much better than the microwave or stovetop. Thanks so much for this video!

I do cook mashed cauliflower fairly often ( I have three heads of cauliflower in my fridge right now and more growing in my garden). And while I do like the cauliflower mash I always wished it wasn't quite so runny. I think you may have solved my problem. I will try cooking the water out of the cauliflower and see how that works. I thought it was interesting that you cook your cauliflower for 5 minutes at pressure. I cook mine for 0 minutes in my Instant Pot with manual pressure release right at the 0 minute mark, and whip them up in my food processor ( I don't have an immersion blender) 5 min in my IP would make my cauliflower too soupy. But it obviously works in your Ninja. I have this saved in Pinterest.

Way over complicated with equipment that most people don't have. Better off with a pot of boiling water on the stove to soften the cauliflower, dump it in a food processor after draining the water, and WALA, you have the beginnings of "mash potatoes". From here you can add melted butter or butter sauce (I like garlic in butter) and then maybe a bit of sour cream and some salt and pepper and mix it. You're done!
