Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large cauliflower head
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into small florets, discarding the core.
In a large pot, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the cauliflower and broccoli florets, cover, and steam for 8-10 minutes until both are tender.
Drain the vegetables well and return them to the pot. Use a clean cloth or paper towels to press out excess moisture.
In the same pot over low heat, add the butter and heavy cream. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
Remove from heat. Add the steamed cauliflower and broccoli to the pot along with Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. You can also transfer the mixture to a food processor if preferred.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the mashed vegetables to a serving dish and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
