  3. Add olive to a hot pan and fry onions, cumin seeds, allspice, garlic and bay leaf until onions turn translucent 5-8 minutes.
  4. Drain water from cauliflower and transfer cooked cauliflower to blender of choice using a slotted spoon.
  5. Add cooked onions to blender and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Blend until smooth 2-3 minutes, add additional almond/oat milk to the mixture if you want a thinner consistency.

Notes

It can be used as a dairy-free alternative white pasta sauce to thicken stews/curry sauces without adding additional starch. It also makes an amazing soup for winter time topped off with some roasted almonds and cumin seeds.
