Ingredients

• 1 head (medium, about 600 grams) cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 2 cloves garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon (optional, for garnish) fresh chives

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the cauliflower by removing the green leaves and cutting it into small florets.

Step 2

Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they are very tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 3

While the cauliflower is cooking, peel and roughly chop the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Drain the cooked cauliflower in a colander and let it sit for 3-5 minutes to allow excess water to evaporate.

Step 5

In a food processor or blender, combine the drained cauliflower, unsalted butter, cream cheese, garlic, salt, black pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 6

Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth and creamy. Stop to scrape down the sides of the processor/blender as needed.

Step 7

Taste the mixture and adjust seasonings, adding more salt or butter if desired.

Step 8

Transfer the cauliflower mash to a serving dish and garnish with fresh chives, if using.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy as a low-carb alternative to traditional mashed potatoes!
