About the Recipe
Ingredients
1 large head Cauliflower (6 cups florets, cut off most of the stems)
1 tsp Olive oil
2 cloves Garlic (minced)
2 tbsp Unsalted butter (cut into chunks)
2 tbsp Cream cheese (cut into chunks)
3/4 tsp Sea salt (to taste)
Chives (optional, for garnish)
Preparation
STEAM METHOD:
Fill a large saucepan or pot with enough salted water to come right below a steamer basket fitted over it. Bring the water to a boil.
Place the cauliflower florets into the steamer basket and fit it on top of the pan. Cover the pan with a lid.
Reduce the water to a simmer and cook, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes, until the cauliflower is very soft and mushy.
MAKE THE MASHED CAULIFLOWER:
Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute, until fragrant.
Place the cooked cauliflower, sautéed garlic, butter, cream cheese, and salt into a food processor.
Puree for 1-2 minutes, until completely smooth.
Adjust salt to taste.
Garnish with chives if desired. You can also drizzle some melted butter on top if you’d like.
Enjoy your creamy and flavorful cauliflower mashed potatoes!
