Keto Cauliflower Mash (Keto Mashed Potato) | Keto Recipe | Headbanger's Kitchen

horns up and welcome to a brand new episode of head bangers kitchen growing up I love to eat things like steak roast chicken grilled fish and with all of these dishes I love to eat mashed potatoes whoo yeah there's nothing quite like a creamy rich buttery mashed potato to go with your meal but on keto as you all know we cannot eat potatoes but you know what I always say guys cauliflower is the new potato whoo yeah my friends trust me on this today we're cooking up a delicious cauliflower mash and this is going to be rich creamy buttery pillowy and decadent and that's not all we're going to amp up this mashed cauliflower with some bacon and cheese and make a separate big cauliflower mashed potato with bacon and cheese anyway trust me guys I know you're thinking no no no cauliflower cannot be the new potato but trust me guys it is and this is going to be delicious you will not even be able to tell the difference challenge accepted anyway enough jibber-jabber let's go and cook so the first thing I'm going to do is spread and wash my cauliflower I'm going to start by removing the leaves of the cauliflower as well as part of the stock now some of you live in a world where cauliflower florets appear in a bag and you just use them without having to go through this process well good for you I don't anyway once I'm done removing the leaves it's time for me to separate the cauliflower florets from the stem and I am making an effort to get nice big chunks because cauliflower can be a real pain if you try and chop it up plus we're going to boil this cauliflower so it's important that we get nice big cauliflower florets anyway once we're done with that it's time to just wash it under some water and depending on how dirty your column flies make sure you wash it accordingly anyway once we are done wash the cauliflower it's time to put it into a pot of salted boiling water yes we are going to boil the cauliflower cover it with a lid and just let it cook now to check that the cauliflower cooked you need to just take out a florid and run your knife through it if the knife runs through it like butter and folks I am talking about hot knife through butter not a knife through cold butter there should be no resistance no resistance at all it should literally go through the cauliflower like a hot knife through butter anyway after about 10 minutes that should happen then you can remove your cauliflower from the boiling water with a slotted spoon and then it's time to make the cauliflower mash hey folks don't throw out this water that you boil the cauliflower in because you got yourself some vegetable stock right here and you can use it in your cooking and yeah just a handy tip now we are going to put the florets into our food processor and you want to do this while the cauliflower is still hot and steaming I'm going to add only a little bit of salt because we already salted the water a little bit of black pepper 50 grams of salted butter you can also use unsalted and about 50 mils of heavy whipping cream and then you're just gonna blend this in your food processor till you get a nice fine cauliflower puree and every once in a while open the lid scrape down the sides and give it all a good blitz remember guys you want it to be soft rich creamy pillowy buttery and of course make sure you taste the cauliflower mash for seasoning remember you can always add salt you can't remove it anyway once it's done blitzing and it's the texture that you want a cauliflower mash is pretty much ready and that's it my friends a cauliflower mash or keto mashed potatoes already or is ready whatever you want to say all right my friends now it's time to jazz up this cauliflower mashed potato with some bacon and cheese so I'm gonna chop up a couple of rashes of bacon and then I'm gonna throw that chopped bacon into a frying pan and I'm gonna fry fry fry that bacon till it gets nice and crispy and remember folks all the fact that comes out of the bacon after you're done take that fat and put it in a jar this is culinary gold and you can use it in all your keto cooking anyway once the bacon is nice and crispy we're going to drain it on some paper towels now we're going to take that crispy bacon and put it into an oven proof dish and to that I'm going to add about a tablespoon of cream cheese I've just microwaved this cream cheese for about 10 seconds to loosen it up and then in goes the cauliflower mash and then you want to give it all a good mix you want to make sure that the collie mash the cream cheese and the bacon are all one homogeneous mixture I don't know if homogenous is the right word but it should all be well mixed guys you get the idea anyway once that's done we're gonna grate some cheese over that and you can be generous here because you are on keto but hey just because it's keto doesn't mean it's low in calories anyway once you are done grating the cheese it's time to pop this into a hot oven at about 220 Celsius for about 10 minutes or till the cheese on top turns a nice golden brown and then it's pretty much ready and there you have it our bacon and cheese cauliflower mash is ready and I'm just gonna dig into that and look at that my friends it looks beautiful this is food porn anyway enough jibber-jabber my friends time to taste alright folks so it's time for me to taste our cauliflower mash or as I like to say keto mashed potato which is actually call if you up but it's just literally just mashed cauliflower way let's dig in so I'm eating the plain one first seriously you give me a piece of roast chicken some gravy on this mashed cauliflower no problemo it will be outstanding give me a nice seared steak on top of this whoo yeah now you're talking it's so light so buttery so creamy so rich so delicious I have so many adjectives to describe this anyway now it's time to taste the bacon and cheese one you mean again sorry I'm not talking I'm just eating outstanding it got even better Wow I will say though it's a lot more rich and decadent of course bacon and cheese oh boy it's so good it is so good I'm just gonna leave it there you guys make this whenever you are having your next
