Instructions
How to Make Creamy Herb-Infused Mashed Cauliflower
- Begin by cutting the cauliflower into small florets and rinsing them under cold water.
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for 10-12 minutes until tender.
- Carefully drain the cauliflower in a colander, allowing excess water to escape.
- Return the drained cauliflower to the pot or transfer it to a food processor. Add the butter, heavy cream, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs.
- Blend the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency—smooth or chunkier. Taste and adjust seasonings.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs or a pat of butter on top.
Notes
For added richness, drizzle with some extra virgin olive oil before serving.
