Easy Pesto Cauliflower Recipe


Easy Pesto Cauliflower Recipe
This is a nice alternative to mashed potatoes. We serve it with all kinds of meats, works particularly well with pork, fish, and chicken

Ingredients
  • 1 head Cauliflower
  • 1 bunch basil
  • handful of nuts (pine nuts are traditional, but we've used almonds, walnuts, and pistachios)
  • 1 clove garlic
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Optional: Kalamata Olives, chopped

Directions
  1. Cut cauliflower into chunks, microwave it in a covered dish for about 8 minutes.
  2. While cauliflower is cooking, put basil, nuts, garlic, salt and pepper in food processor. Drizzle in olive oil until you have a nice thick paste, but nothing too runny.
  3. A little at a time, drop in cauliflower and blend until smooth.
  4. Fold in Kalamata olives and serve.
  5. Yum!
