Easy Keto 5-Ingredient Aligot
How to Make It
Step 1
Cut the cauliflower into small florets. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the cauliflower. Cook until completely tender.
Step 2
Remove the cauliflower from the heat and drain. Melt the butter in a microwave. Add the cauliflower and butter to a food processor.
Step 3
Season with some salt and pepper to taste. Process until completely smooth. Remove the cauliflower from the food processor and set it aside.
Step 4
Peel the garlic clove. Add the creme fraiche and garlic to a small saucepan and bring to just steaming. Make sure not to boil the creme fraiche. Stir constantly.
Step 5
Remove and discard the garlic. Pour the hot creme fraiche into the mashed cauliflower. Mix well.
Step 6
Transfer the cauliflower mixture to a large pan and place on the stovetop over low heat. Using a spatula or a wooden spoon, beat the mixture until it turns glossy. This will take about 2 minutes.
Step 7
Shred the cheddar cheese. Raise the heat to medium and mix in the shredded cheddar, ½ cup at a time. Continue to mix until the cheese has completely melted and the aligot is entirely smooth.
Step 8
Taste and add more salt or pepper if necessary. Optionally, garnish with some freshly chopped parsley before serving.
