Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Fresh or frozen green peas
Instructions
Begin by washing the cauliflower head thoroughly. Remove the leaves and cut the cauliflower into small florets.
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Add a pinch of salt.
Once the water is boiling, add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 10-12 minutes or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
While the cauliflower is cooking, if using fresh green peas, bring a smaller pot of water to a boil and blanch the peas for 2-3 minutes. If using frozen peas, rinse them under cold water to defrost.
Drain the cooked cauliflower well and transfer to a food processor or blender. Add butter, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Blend until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides. Adjust the seasoning to taste if necessary.
Pour the blended cauliflower mash back into the pot, set over low heat, and keep warm.
Add the prepared peas to the pot with the cauliflower mash and gently fold them in.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
