- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the cauliflower under cold water and remove the leaves and thick core. Cut it into florets.
Step 2
In a medium pot, bring to boil enough water to cover the cauliflower. Add the cauliflower florets and garlic cloves. Reduce heat and let it simmer until the cauliflower is tender, approximately 10 minutes.

Drain the cauliflower and garlic thoroughly and transfer them to a food processor or blender.
Step 4
Add unsalted butter, unsalted chicken or vegetable broth, black pepper, and nutmeg to the cauliflower in the food processor.
Step 5
Puree the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides or adjust the consistency with a bit more broth if necessary.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning if desired. Since it is low sodium, ensure not to add salt but feel free to enhance the flavor with more garlic or herbs as needed.
