Purple Cauliflower Mash
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
- 3 cups purple cauliflower florets
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large sauce pan. Add the onion and garlic, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally for 3 minutes until beginning to soften. Add in the cauliflower florets and broth. Cover and steam/cook until the cauliflower has softened slightly, about 6 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the cream and butter together in a small saucepan until the butter has melted. Remove from heat.
Add the cauliflower mixture to a blender or food processor. Pour in the cream and butter. Puree on high until completely smooth. Add in the parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to taste. Puree again until combined. Serve hot.
I made this tonight, although with some modifications so I could use what I had at home :) I used whole milk instead of whipping cream and half a stick of butter. I entirely forgot the cheese!! In any case, it was delicious :) My 1-year-old even ate it, and that's saying something!
