Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Unsalted butter (4 tablespoons)
  • Heavy cream (1/2 cup)
  • Garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
  • Salt (1/2 teaspoon, or to taste)
  • Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon, or to taste)
  • Chives (2 tablespoons, finely chopped for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Begin by steaming or boiling the cauliflower florets in salted water until they are tender, approximately 10-12 minutes.
  2. Once cooked, drain the cauliflower thoroughly to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect, non-watery texture.
  3. Transfer the drained cauliflower to a food processor or blender. Add the unsalted butter, heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
  5. Taste the mashed cauliflower and adjust the seasonings if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or garlic powder according to your preference.
  6. Spoon the creamy cauliflower mash into a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped chives to add a pop of color and flavor.
  7. Serve hot as a satisfying side dish and enjoy the lush texture and savory taste!
