Cauliflower Mash
6 months + up
Makes 2 cups
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
1/4 c full fat greek yogurt, such as Fage
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Steam cauliflower until easily pierced and broken apart with a fork. Remove from steamer and place in a large bowl adding yogurt, parmesan and black pepper. With an immersion blender puree cauliflower mixture directly in the bowl until smooth. If you do not have an immersion blender use a food processor – or for a chunkier consistency, use a potato masher.
