Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower head. Break it into large florets.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add cauliflower florets and cook for about 10-12 minutes, until fork-tender.
While cauliflower is cooking, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Add minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Drain cauliflower well and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a food processor, combine the cooked cauliflower, sautéed garlic butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper.
Process the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Add fresh parsley, chives, and thyme to the food processor. Pulse a few times to combine, ensuring the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the mashed cauliflower.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
Serve the herb-infused mashed cauliflower warm, garnished with extra herbs if desired.
