Mock Garlic Mashed Potatoes

[Guest guest]

Looks interesting

 

 

 

 

 

1 medium head cauliflower

1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup grated Parmesan

1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

1/8 teaspoon Vegetable broth

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh or dry chives, for garnish

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Set a stockpot of water to boil over high heat.

Clean and cut cauliflower into small pieces. Cook in boiling water for about

6 minutes, or until well done. Drain well; do not let cool and pat cooked

cauliflower very dry between several layers of paper towels.

In a bowl with an immersion blender, or in a food processor, puree the hot

cauliflower with the cream cheese, Parmesan, garlic, Vegetable broth, and

pepper until almost smooth.

Garnish with chives, and serve hot with pats of butter.

Hint: Try roasting the garlic and adding a little fresh rosemary for a whole new

taste.
