4 servings
- 1 large head cauliflower (about 2 lbs), cut into florets
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled
Chef's tipSwap it in for an equal amount of the oil or butter the recipe cooks with - do not add it on top of the existing fat. - 3 tbsp full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tbsp ghee
Ingredient noteThough high-fat foods can worsen reflux, this recipe has only a small amount of ghee (~1 1/2 teaspoons per serving), making it likely fine for many with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid ghee, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¾ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Ingredient noteBlack pepper can worsen reflux in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (less than 1/8 teaspoon per serving) is likely tolerated by many with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1–2 tbsp fresh chives, thinly sliced (optional)
Ingredient noteFresh chives are the mildest of the onion family, and only a small amount is used here. That is likely fine for most people with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid fresh chives, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
Instructions
- 1
Add 1 inch of water to a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Place the cauliflower florets and garlic cloves in a steamer basket or directly in the pot, cover, and steam for 12–14 minutes, until the cauliflower is completely tender and a fork slides through the thickest floret with no resistance.
- 2
Drain the cauliflower and garlic in a colander and let them sit for 2 minutes, shaking once or twice, until most of the surface steam has escaped and the florets look dry on the outside.
