Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chives (for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by preparing your cauliflower. Remove the leaves and cut the cauliflower into small florets.
In a large pot of salted water, add the cauliflower florets. Bring the water to a boil and cook the cauliflower for 10-15 minutes, or until very tender.
While the cauliflower is cooking, peel and rough chop the garlic cloves.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the chopped garlic. Saute for about 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and slightly golden, being careful not to burn it.
Once the cauliflower is tender, drain well and return to the pot. Allow it to sit for a minute or two to release more steam.
Add the sauteed garlic and butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to the pot with the cauliflower.
Using an immersion blender or a food processor, blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. You can adjust the cream for your desired consistency.
If desired, stir in parmesan cheese for an extra burst of flavor.
Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary. Serve warm, garnished with chopped chives.
