Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head (medium, about 600 grams) cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon (optional, for garnish) fresh chives
Instructions
Prepare the cauliflower by removing the green leaves and cutting it into small florets.
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they are very tender when pierced with a fork.
While the cauliflower is cooking, peel and roughly chop the garlic cloves.
Drain the cooked cauliflower in a colander and let it sit for 3-5 minutes to allow excess water to evaporate.
In a food processor or blender, combine the drained cauliflower, unsalted butter, cream cheese, garlic, salt, black pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth and creamy. Stop to scrape down the sides of the processor/blender as needed.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasonings, adding more salt or butter if desired.
Transfer the cauliflower mash to a serving dish and garnish with fresh chives, if using.
Serve warm and enjoy as a low-carb alternative to traditional mashed potatoes!
