Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
Instructions
Begin by removing the leaves and stem from the cauliflower head and cut it into florets.
Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, add the cauliflower florets to the pot. Cook for about 10 minutes or until the cauliflower is very tender.
Drain the cauliflower well and set it aside.
In a blender or food processor, add the cooked cauliflower, heavy cream, butter, and garlic cloves.
Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You might need to do this in batches if your blender is small.
Once pureed, transfer the mixture to a saucepan over low heat.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper, combining everything thoroughly.
Allow the puree to heat gently for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Remove from heat.
Serve the cauliflower puree warm, garnished with chopped chives.
