Ingredients
- 600g (1 large head) Cauliflower, cut into florets
- 3 tbsp (40g) Unsalted butter
- 60ml (1/4 cup) Heavy whipping cream
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 30g (1/3 cup) Grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp Fine sea salt
- to taste Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Fresh chives, finely sliced (to serve)
Method
- Steam the cauliflower florets 10-12 minutes until very soft when pierced with a knife.
- Drain very well — squeeze gently with a clean tea towel to remove excess water. (Watery cauli = watery mash.)
- While the cauliflower drains, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic and cook 30-60 seconds until just fragrant.
- Transfer the cauliflower to a blender or food processor. Add the garlic butter, heavy cream, parmesan, salt, and pepper.
- Blend until completely smooth — stop and scrape the sides as needed.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot, topped with chives.
