Ingredients
1 medium head cauliflower
1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/8 teaspoon straight chicken base or bullion (may substitute 1/2 teaspoon salt)
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh or dry chives, for garnish
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions
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, chicken base, 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.

I make this often and when used in recipes like cottage or shepherd's pie, you really can't tell this is not mashed potato.
ReplyDeleteMy recipe is almost identical to yours but one thing I do, however, is boil the cauliflower in milk. I find it makes it slightly sweeter and removes some of that cauliflower aroma and flavour.
Thank you, Jacqueline. I'm LOVING your low-carb recipes.
I'll try cooking the cauliflower in cream. Thanks for the tip :)
