Cauliflower Mash & Marinated Portobello Steaks

May 4, 2017 By julia

When you find a vibrant, purple mega cauliflower, you take it home.

Thanks to Spud for carrying all of the local, organic goodness.

With this beauty, I immediately thought… purple cauliflower mash… yes.

As you can see, the mash is more on the grey side, and not so purple after all. But, it still tastes delicious and it’s a different option from your regular mashed taters.

The portobello mushroom marinade is quick, easy, and super flavourful.

This is a great dish to serve if you’re having guests and you want to make it a little fancy! Ya know?

Paired with a big green salad, you’re good to go!

Benefits:

~ Cauliflower of the purple variety has more of the antioxidant anthocyanin. This, along with being a sulfur-containing cruciferous veg, packed with vitamin C and K, gives you the anti-cancer punch that you need!

~ Portobello mushrooms are rich in minerals like potassium, phosphorus and selenium. Plus, they’re pretty much vegan steak when you marinate them like this!

Cauliflower Mash & Marinated Portobello

Time: 45 minutes

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

Cauliflower Mash:

  • 1 large head of cauliflower (any colour!)
  • 1/2 c unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup nutritional yeast
  • 3 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • dash of pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1-2 tbsp chives minced

Portobello Mushrooms:

  • 2 portobello mushrooms, de-stemmed and scrubbed
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 2 maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp tamari or coconut aminos
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 2 cloves garlic

Garnish:

  • 2 green onions, sliced thinly and diagonally
  • 5 pecans, chopped

Directions:

  1. Pre-heat oven to 400 F
  2. Make portobello marinade: whisk together mustard, maple syrup, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, water and garlic
  3. Pour marinade over each mushroom (cap-side down). Let sit 10 minutes
  4. Chop cauliflower into even pieces
  5. Steam cauliflower until fork tender (10-15 minutes): fill pot with 1 inch of water, bring to a boil, place cauliflower in a steamer basket and cover. Once tender, pat cauliflower down with a clean towel. Get as much moisture off as possible.
  6. Bake mushrooms in a dish that allows the mushrooms to be covered in the marinade. Bake 15-20 minutes, flipping half way
  7. While mushrooms are baking, make the cauliflower mash: In a food processor, blend until smooth the coconut milk, thyme, chives, pepper garlic, and nutritional yeast to blender with 1/4 of the steamed cauliflower. Then add in the rest of the cauliflower and blend until nearly smooth
  8. Serve by placing the mushroom cap side down on a plate, then fill it up with cauliflower mash, and top it with green onions and pecans. Use the extra marinade as ‘gravy’ over top of the mash!

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is needed to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100 positive. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

This isn’t just any tofu scramble… it’s next This isn’t just any tofu scramble… it’s next-level creamy and eggy thanks to 2 secret weapons:

🥄 Hummus for texture 
🧂 Black salt (kala namak) for that eggy flava flave

Serve it up with avo, tomato, and a drizzle of hot sauce for the ultimate #MothersDayBrunch moment 🥑🔥

🌱 Tofu Scramble Recipe - from the #hookedonplantsarchives 

Ingredients:
	•	½ large yellow onion, diced
	•	2 cloves garlic
	•	6 white mushrooms, sliced
	•	1 red pepper, diced
	•	1 tsp each: garlic powder, onion powder, paprika
	•	½ tsp turmeric
	•	1 tsp cumin
	•	½ tsp black salt (kala namak)
	•	¼–½ cup nutritional yeast
	•	½ cup hummus (use your fave — or try my Roasted Garlic one!)
	•	1 block medium or soft tofu (~350g)

Directions:
	1.	Sauté onion in a hot pan (no oil needed). Let it brown, then splash with water to deglaze as needed.
	2.	Add mushrooms, garlic, and red pepper. Cook for a few minutes.
	3.	Stir in spices + ¼ cup water.
	4.	Add hummus and mix until incorporated.
	5.	Crumble tofu into the pan with your hands (tiny crumbles = perfect texture).

➡️The GoFundMe page is linked in @alohaanimalsanctuary bio.

A few years ago, I had the beautiful experience of volunteering with Aloha Animal Sanctuary, and supporting their team with @complement products to help the volunteers and founders thrive—so they could give their best selves to the animals.

It’s a dream of mine to spend more time physically supporting farm sanctuaries. 
And to have my own one day… 💫 
… to rescue animals like the lucky ones you see here, living out their best lives.
Just putting that out there 🌱✨

💪🏽 The work, love and energy the founders have poured into Aloha is incredibly inspiring, but it comes with its challenges… Funding expenses being the main one. 

If you’ve got even $5 to spare, it could make a huge difference in helping save Aloha.

Since I don’t have my own sanctuary (yet!), the least I can do is share, volunteer, and spread the word.

& look back on the cute animal pics from my few days there.
