Cauliflower Carrot Herb Mash

I love cauliflower and I happen to have some left and planned to make another recipe but after reading the directions it was suppose to be fried.We have a fryer at home in NY,and I wasn't in the mood to experiment  how it would come out baked. I went into my saved recipes and saw this from multiply delicious.



Ingredients:

1 head of cauliflower, washed, and cut into florets
3 to 4 small to medium carrots, peeled and chopped
1 sweet onion, chopped (used a yellow onion)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, minced ( didn't use)
2 tablespoons olive oil

salt and pepper to taste ( didn't use)

Directions:

In a large pot place a steamer basket 

Place the peeled carrots and the washed cauliflower in the basket and cook over medium- high heat for about 10-12 minutes or until the cauliflower and carrots are folk tender.

In a medium size skillet heat 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Place the onion, garlic and herbs and saute the onion until it is translucent. 

Remove the cauliflower and carrots from the steamer basket  and add to a food processor. Add the onion and garlic and herbs from the skillet to the food processor .

Pulse all the ingredients in the food processor until smooth. 

Garnish with fresh thyme or fresh rosemary and serve.

P.S. Since Gabe wouldn't eat this I had leftovers. Recipe coming soon- my idea on how to use the mash in a creative way!
