Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
Instructions
Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower, and cut it into small florets.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Add the cauliflower florets to the boiling water, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Drain the cauliflower using a colander, ensuring you remove as much water as possible.
In a food processor, combine the cooked cauliflower, butter, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, and the remaining salt.
Purée the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the processor a few times.
Taste the puree and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the cauliflower puree to a serving bowl and garnish with freshly chopped chives.
Serve hot as a side dish with your favorite low-carb main course.
