Servings

Instructions

 
Break up the cauliflower into pieces - doesn't have to be too small.
Steam the cauliflower pieces in a large pot until very tender.
Steaming takes 15-20 minutes, and the carrots may need more, so add them first.
Add the garlic and carrots to the pot to steam.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Puree the cauliflower in a food processor, use a hand mixer, or simply mash with a potato masher.
Add oil, salt and pepper.
Reheat in a casserole dish in the oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
