Combine cauliflower, vegetable broth, potatoes, onions, and garlic in a saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly (do not drain). Transfer mixture to a blender . Add plant milk and turmeric; puree until very smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning.
2. MAKE SCALLOPED POTATOES
Meanwhile, combine potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, and enough water to cover them in a saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer until potatoes are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain.
3. STEAM BROCCOLI
Steam broccoli in a steamer insert set over boiling water, covered, until tender when pierced with a fork, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl to cool. Season with black pepper and lemon juice.
4. ASSEMBLE & SERVE
Bring it Together
Sprinkle with cashews and scallions. Serve with steamed broccoli.
Recipe Tips
Unflavored Plant Milk: Plant milk is the term we use to describe the plant-based milk of your choice. Rice, oat, hemp, almond, and soy milk are all varieties of plant milk. Look for unsweetened, unflavored plant milks.
