Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Cauliflower head
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by washing and trimming the cauliflower. Remove the stem and cut the cauliflower into florets of roughly equal size.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the cauliflower florets and whole garlic cloves to the boiling water. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is fork-tender.
Once cooked, drain the cauliflower and garlic well, shaking off any excess water. Set aside.
In a small pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Pour it over the cooked garlic and cauliflower for added depth of flavor.
Using either an immersion blender, food processor, or potato masher, mash the cauliflower and garlic until smooth and creamy. Adjust the texture to your liking.
Add the butter, heavy cream, parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to the mashed cauliflower. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully combined and the parmesan has melted.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper if preferred.
Transfer the mash to a serving dish. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement grilled meats, roasted chicken, or vegetarian mains.
