4 cloves garlic peeled
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup unsweetened plain Greek yogurt
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan or nutritional yeast optional
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest optional for brightness

Method

Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss cauliflower florets and garlic cloves with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spread the mixture evenly on the baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes until soft and golden.
Transfer the roasted cauliflower and garlic to a food processor.
Add Greek yogurt and optional Parmesan or nutritional yeast.
Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Season to taste with additional salt, pepper, or lemon zest.

It also works well with other rich beef recipes, making it one of the most versatile short rib side dishes

Notes

Swap Greek yogurt with dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option.
Add lemon juice or zest to brighten the flavor when paired with slow-cooked beef.
Use fresh herbs like chives or parsley as a garnish to enhance the presentation.
This pairs beautifully with wine-free short rib recipes or smoked beef cheeks.
