Mashed Cauliflower Dip with Sesame Oil
Ingredients
- 1 large cauliflower
- 1/2 cup of water
- 2 TBSP of unsalted butter
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tsp of Blue Dragon Sesame Oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Make it
- In a medium saucepan, bring water to boil.
- In the mean, wash and break cauliflower.
- Cook cauliflower for about 10 minutes or until tender. Make sure to cover.
- Drain cauliflower. Make sure to reserve water
- In a food processor, blend the following: cauliflower, 1/4 cup of cooking water, garlic, butter.

When my husband saw the dish, he did not ask about the ingredients. He just assumed it was mashed potatoes. I did not say a word. I wanted to have his first impression and he kept asking for more. Of course he noticed it was not potatoes and loved the texture as well as the mix of cauliflower and Sesame Oil. He added a pinch of pepper because he loves it. I prefer it with less pepper and it is as good.
