Cauliflower Mac and Cheese

🖨️ Print post

Ingredients

• 1 head of cauliflower
• 1 cup heavy cream or half and half.
• 2 cups of cheese (I used 5 y old Gouda and Parmesan)
• Salt if needed (cheese has salt, consider that before adding salt)
• 2 oz butter
• Optional — chopped garlic, I think it adds nice flavor kick, I used fermented garlic, it’s sweeter and milder.
• Optional — 3 tbsp almond flour, to thicken sauce.

Instructions

1. Remove leaves of head of cauliflower, cut in few big chunks, boil in salted water about 10 min, strain, pour in baking pan or pot, cut with scissors smaller chunks, resembling size of elbow macaroni. Set aside.
2. Pour cream in the pot, medium heat, add almond flour, chopped garlic.
3. Shred or cube cheese, add to cream.
4. Stir gently.
5. Adjust the taste, check if salt is needed.
6. Stir and heat until sauce thickens a bit and all cheese is melted.
7. Add butter last, then it gives more buttery taste.
8. Pour it over cauliflower pieces, mix gently.
9. Optional-top with crunched pork cracklings.
10. Bake at 375° F 20-30 min.
