Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
Instructions
Begin by removing the green leaves and stem from the cauliflower and cut it into small florets.
In a large pot, bring several inches of water to a boil. Insert a steaming basket, add the cauliflower florets, and cover the pot.
Steam the cauliflower for about 10-12 minutes or until very tender.
While the cauliflower is steaming, peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Cook gently for about 3 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
In a food processor or blender, combine the steamed cauliflower, garlic butter mixture, heavy cream, and cream cheese.
Blend until smooth and creamy. If needed, stop and scrape down the sides to ensure an even texture.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve the mashed cauliflower hot, garnished with chopped fresh chives.
