Ingredients

1 small head cauliflower (about 6 cups of florets)

1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon cream cheese

1/4-1/2 clove garlic (or garlic powder (you can also use roasted garlic for a milder flavor)

Directions

Wash and break up your cauliflower into florets. Boil water on the stove and salt it.

Once it comes to a boil you can add in the cauliflower and let it go until it’s fork tender. Mine usually takes around 10-15 minutes.

Drain out the water and transfer it into a pan on the stove on medium-high heat.

Mash it down without touching the pan as you don’t want to damage your non-stick pans and let that water evaporate completely as you stir. This will take about 5 to 6 minutes.

You can now add it to a food processor with a little bit of extra salt, touch of butter, 1/4 of a garlic clove (or garlic powder) and optionally any cream cheese you love.

Process on high until creamy and enjoy. Can be refrigerated and re-heated up to 3-4 days.
