Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chives (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your cauliflower. Remove the leaves and cut the cauliflower into small florets.
Step 2
In a large pot of salted water, add the cauliflower florets. Bring the water to a boil and cook the cauliflower for 10-15 minutes, or until very tender.
Step 3
While the cauliflower is cooking, peel and rough chop the garlic cloves.
Step 4
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the chopped garlic. Saute for about 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and slightly golden, being careful not to burn it.
Step 5
Once the cauliflower is tender, drain well and return to the pot. Allow it to sit for a minute or two to release more steam.
Step 6
Add the sauteed garlic and butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to the pot with the cauliflower.
Step 7
Using an immersion blender or a food processor, blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. You can adjust the cream for your desired consistency.
Step 8
If desired, stir in parmesan cheese for an extra burst of flavor.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary. Serve warm, garnished with chopped chives.
