Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 head cauliflower cut into florets
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 0.25 cup parmesan grated
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp cream
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Steam or boil the cauliflower florets until very tender, about 12 minutes.
  2. Drain well and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
  3. Add the cauliflower, butter, parmesan, garlic, cream, salt, and pepper to a food processor.
  4. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down as needed.
  5. Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve warm with an extra pat of butter.

Notes

Drying the cauliflower keeps the mash thick instead of soupy.
