Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Begin by prepping the cauliflower. Remove the leaves and core, and then cut the cauliflower into small florets.
Rinse the cauliflower under cold water and drain well.
Peel the garlic cloves and crush them gently with the side of a knife to release the flavors.
In a large saucepan, bring a couple of inches of water to a boil. Add a steaming basket and place the cauliflower florets and garlic cloves inside.
Cover the pan and steam on medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the cauliflower and garlic from the steaming basket and transfer them to a food processor or blender.
Add the butter, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to the processor.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl or add a bit more cream if necessary to achieve your desired consistency.
Taste the mashed cauliflower and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the mashed cauliflower to a serving bowl, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
