A healthy alternative to traditional mashed potatoes. The combination of cauliflower and cannellini beans creates a thick and creamy texture, and as an added bonus, the beans pack an awesome protein punch.
Heat olive oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Add sliced garlic and cook until slightly browned.
Meanwhile, place 1-2 inches of water in a large pot and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Place the cauliflower in a steam basket and then add it to the large pot. Cover the pot and steam the cauliflower until fork tender (about 10 minutes). Remove the cauliflower from the heat and set aside.
In a food processor, combine the garlic-infused olive oil, cauliflower, cannellini beans, vegetable broth, and parsley, and puree until smooth. Scrape down the sides as needed, and season with salt and pepper.
Serve warm and enjoy!

Very ingenious! My family liked this dish. I could taste the beans when I followed the recipe. Added 1/2 stick of butter, 1/2 C warm buttermilk and plenty of salt and pepper and it was quite good.

This looks really good! I make cauliflower and cannellini beans for my toddlers but I also add carrots and peas. They love it. I think I will try this next. Thanks for the recipe.
