Instructions
Cut the onion and garlic into thin slices. Melt the butter/coconut oil in a skillet on low heat, add onion slices and garlic and sauté covered on low until the onions are golden and caramelized (minimum 20 minutes).
Bring a pot of well salted water to a boil. Cut the cauliflower into florets and cook until tender (7-10 minutes).
Place the tender cauliflower florets into a blender or food processor together with the caramelized onions, garlic, ½ cup of broth, milk and salt. Puree until smooth.
Store the sauce in a container with a lid (like a mason jar) and place in the fridge, if not using right away.
Depending on the size of your blender, you can also double the recipe.
Notes
To make this sauce entirely dairy-free coconut oil can be used in place of butter and almond milk instead of dairy milk. I have tried this dairy-free version with good results.
