Equipment

Saucepan, lid,immersion blender or food processor

Prep Time

About 10 minutes

Cook Time

10-15 minutes

Number of Servings

4-6, depending on ages

Instructions

  1. 1 head cauliflower

  2. 1 cup onion, coarsely chopped

  3. 2 garlic cloves, halved

  4. 1 cup water

    Add to saucepan. Cover. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and bring to simmer 10-15 minutes or until cauiliflower is tender. Drain water very well. (For a mash that holds it's shape, blot gently with paper towels.
  5. 2 Tbs. butter (organic if possible)

  6. 1/4 cup Romano cheese, grated

  7. Sea salt to taste

    Add to cauliflower mixture. Use an immersion blender to puree. If needed, add 1-2 Tbs. milk or chicken broth.
  8. 1 tsp. parsley or chives, chopped

    Garnish each serving and serve warm.

Options

Use frozen cauliflower instead of fresh.  No immersion blender?  Use a food processor.  An electric mixer also works, but the texture will be chunkier.   After cooking, add 3-4 cloves roasted garlic or for a stronger garlic taste, 1/2 tsp. minced raw garlic.   Replace Romano cheese with Parmesan, cream cheese, sour cream, or 1/2 cup shredded cheddar.  Or omit the cheese.  Here's a serving suggestion: spread in the bottom of a glass baking dish; top with ground turkey, tomato sauce, and mozzarella cheese; bake to melt the cheese.

Grocery List

  • 1 head cauliflower
  • 1 large onion
  • Garlic
  • Butter (organic if possible)
