If you are looking to change up your meal from the regular mashed potatoes, this is the way to go! It goes great with just about anything, I like to use it with steak, since it is cauliflower it is not as heavy as potatoes. The crispy garlic is a great addition, so it is not too cauliflowery…(for my husband). I always try to trick him with healthy alternatives, since he is not a fan of plain vegetables. This is also very quick to make like 15-20 minutes all together which is always helpful.
Ingredients you will need…
- 1 large cauliflower head
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup shredded parmesan
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1/4-1/2 cup warm milk
- salt
- pepper
1.) Bring a pot of water to a boil, meanwhile cut the florets off the cauliflower, and once water is boiling place cauliflower to boil for 10 minutes until a fork goes through the cauliflower and slides off.
2.) While the cauliflower is cooking in a small sauté pan, cook the garlic (through a garlic press) in olive oil, until lightly browned take off heat and set aside.
3.) Drain the cauliflower and place half into a food processor and blend, then add the other half and blend again until very fine.
4.) Add in the olive oil and garlic, and pulse food processer a few times.
5.) Place the shredded parmesan, cream cheese, warm milk, and salt and pepper. Blend for about 1-2 minutes. Taste for salt and pepper and it is ready to serve. It is best when hot.
