I’ve loved my husband for a long time (22 years, in fact- minus the 1 month we took to actually “fall” in love). Anyway… I have a new love today. A love for something that I had zero idea I’d fall in love with. I mean, I like cauliflower and all -usually roasted with lemon and garlic or steamed with a little butter and salt. But PUREED is a whole different story. I whipped up some pureed cauliflower last weekend, and now I’m in love with the stuff. It’s an awesome substitute for mashed potatoes- especially if you are trying to avoid carbs for whatever reason. But even if you are into eating carbs (and believe me, I totally am), this is one delicious bowl of food.
This is an easy recipe to make. Separate the head of cauliflower into florets and steam it in a steamer basket until it’s super tender- like stick-the-fork-in-and-it-goes-right-through tender.
Move that tender cauliflower to a food processor or a mega-powerful blender. Add warm milk that has been flavored with garlic and melted butter.
Process it all until it is nice and smooth. That’s it. You’re done! You’ve made pureed cauliflower!
Spoon it into a bowl and give it a good dose of salt and pepper, and try your best not to dive face-first into the bowl and eat the whole thing. Yeah, I enjoyed it that much. And I should mention that I’m not like a huge superfan of cauliflower itself. It’s okay and all, but served this way is the way to go. So incredibly, surprisingly GOOD. Enjoy!
