The combination of butter, turmeric, and smoked paprika gives it a deep, earthy taste, while fresh sage and Parmesan bring an elegant, savory finish.

Ingredients: (serves 2)
  • 1 medium cauliflower head, cut into florets

  • 1 tbsp butter (or ghee)

  • ½ tsp turmeric powder

  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

  • 3–4 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  3. Flavor it up: In a pan, melt butter and add turmeric, smoked paprika, and chopped sage. Stir for 30 seconds to release the aroma.

  4. Combine: Add the mashed cauliflower to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and mix well.

  5. Finish: Sprinkle Parmesan on top and serve hot, garnished with extra sage and cracked black pepper.
