Ingredients
-
1
head of cauliflower
-
2 cups
water
-
2 tablespoons
nutritional yeast
-
2 tablespoons
olive oil
-
Salt to taste
Directions
-
Take a greenery off of the cauliflower and then cut into large florets. You can also use the stem!
-
In a large pot add all of the cauliflower pieces, water to cover the 90% of the cauliflower, and a sprinkle of salt. Cover, bring to a boil, then let it cook for 15 minutes.
-
After the 15 minutes are up, check the cauliflower to see that it is fully cooked. A knife should go through without any problems.
-
Drain the cauliflower but be sure to leave about 2-3 cups of water.
-
Add the cauliflower back into the pot along with 1 1/2 cups of water and BLEND AWAY with an immersion blender. If you see that you need more water add about 1/2 cup at a time until you get the desired consistency.
-
Next, add in the olive oil and nutritional yeast. Blend again.
-
Taste it, add salt if needed, and enjoy hot, cold, or my personal favorite with vegan grilled cheese!
