Instructions
    Preparation Steps
  1. Step 1: Cook the yams and cauliflower

    In separate pots, boil the yams and cauliflower until fork-tender (al dente). If using frozen green banana puree, microwave it briefly and add hot water to dissolve if needed.

  2. Step 2: Blend the vegetables

    Combine the cooked yams, cauliflower, and green banana puree in a blender or use an immersion blender to create a smooth consistency.

  3. Step 3: Sauté the aromatics

    In a pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil, then add chopped garlic, red onion, and parsley. Sauté until fragrant and soft.

  4. Step 4: Combine everything

    Add the sautéed mixture to the yam and cauliflower blend, using the immersion blender again to ensure the mix is smooth and well-combined.

  5. Step 5: Finish and serve

    Stir in the lactose-free cream cheese to elevate the creaminess. Adjust flavor with a pinch of pink Himalayan salt and Jamaican or white pepper according to taste. Serve warm.
