Seriously the Best Freaking Mashed Cauli


Seriously the Best Freaking Mashed Cauli 
Ingredients: 
Food Processor Needed 
½ Head of Cauliflower 
1.5 tbsp butter 
1 tbsp cream cheese 
¼ cup fresh grated parmesan (if you dare use Kraft parm you will REGRET it) 
3 garlic cloves 
Salt and Pepper to taste 

Directions: 
1- Dice the cauliflower into small florets that will fit in your food processor. Boil for 6-8 minutes (or until tender). Drain and pat dry with a towel. Move back into your boiling pot with a lid to keep hot if the other steps are not complete by the time you finish boiling! 
2- Wile you are boiling the cauliflower, dice your garlic cloves and cut the cream cheese into small chunks for the next two steps. 
3- Melt the butter in a small sauce pan. As it begins to melt, add the diced garlic and heat for 2-4 minutes. Remove from heat and proceed to step four while the butter is still hot. 
4- Add the cauliflower, butter + garlic mixture, cream cheese and parmesan to your food processor. Blend until you get a mashed potato consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste. 


 In theory, the cauli and butter will finish around the same time so that the mashed cauli remains hot after food processing. I like to make small portions, with extra butter, cream cheese, and parm. This is one of my less healthy options, but hey, you’re getting lots of veggies 😊. This pairs great with seafood and sautéed veggies (Particularly asparagus, onion, mushrooms, walnuts, and scallops as pictured ).
