Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 0.5 cup Low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat cream cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chives
Instructions
Begin by removing the leaves and core from the cauliflower head. Cut the cauliflower into florets.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Add the cauliflower florets to the pot and cook for about 10 minutes or until the florets are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
While the cauliflower is cooking, peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Once the cauliflower is tender, drain the florets in a colander and transfer them to a food processor.
Add the minced garlic, low-fat milk, low-fat cream cheese, salt, and black pepper to the food processor with the drained cauliflower.
Process the mixture until smooth and creamy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the processor as needed.
Taste the mashed cauliflower and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Transfer the creamy mashed cauliflower to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped chives.
Serve warm as a healthy side dish to your main course.
