What gives this CauliMash its cheesy flavor without dairy?

The rich, cheesy flavor in this CauliMash comes from a combination of vegan cream cheese and nutritional yeast, which are pureed directly into the hot cauliflower.

Can I substitute the vegan chicken bullion?

Yes, if you don't have vegan chicken bullion, the recipe explicitly suggests substituting it with 1/2 teaspoon of salt to ensure proper seasoning.

Are there any suggested variations for this CauliMash?

For a different flavor profile, the recipe recommends roasting the garlic before adding it and incorporating a little fresh rosemary into the puree.

How should I serve this CauliMash?

This CauliMash is best served hot, garnished with fresh or dry chives, and topped with pats of vegan butter for extra richness.

How to Prepare CauliMash [Vegan]

Set a stockpot of water to boil over high heat.
Clean and cut cauliflower into small pieces. Cook in boiling water for about 6 minutes, or until well done. Drain well; do not let cool and pat cooked cauliflower very dry between several layers of paper towels.
In a bowl with an immersion blender, or in a food processor, puree the hot cauliflower with the cream cheese, nutritional yeast, garlic, bullion and pepper until almost smooth.
Garnish with chives, and serve hot with pats of butter.
Try roasting the garlic and adding a little fresh rosemary for a whole new taste.
