Cauliflower Carrot Mash


Cauliflower Carrot Mash 
makes about 8 servings

Ingredients:

1 Head Cauliflower, cut into florets
4 Medium Carrots, chopped
1 Sweet Onion, chopped
2 Cloves Garlic, minced
1T. Fresh Rosemary, minced
1T. Fresh Thyme, minced
2T. Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper, to taste

Directions:

Wash and chop all ingredients as directed above. Place the cauliflower and carrots in a steamer basket on the stove top. Steam until soft (about 10-12 minutes). Heat 1T. olive oil in skillet and sauté onions, herbs and garlic until the onions are translucent. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
Place cauliflower, carrots, onion sauté and 1T. olive oil in food processor. Blend until smooth.
Garnish with additional herbs, and serve immediately.

**Side note- I feel like this would be an AMAZING stuffing for raviolis... I have not tried it yet, but can imagine it would blow my mind! The only suggestion I would make if you are willing to give this a go would be to roast the cauliflower vs steaming it, since I feel like it is too moist when prepared as listed above for a ravioli stuffing. Serve with either a red sauce or an olive oil and garlic sauce with a balsamic drizzle. Mmmmm...
