First start out with one head of cauliflower. Cut it up into small to medium florets and place them in a steamer basket over a pot filled with water, but not touching the base of the steamer basket.
Bring the water to a boil and cover and steam the cauliflower for 10-15 min. or until you are able to cut the cauliflower like butter with a knife.
While the cauliflower is steaming, roast your garlic with olive oil in a pan for about 2 minutes.
Once the cauliflower is steamed all the way through. Grab your food processor and add in half of the cauliflower and turn the food processor on high. After this keep adding the rest of the cauliflower. Continue to blend. Once all of the cauliflower is in the food processor it is time to add the rest of the ingredients. Add the garlic/oil blend, parmesan cheese, cream cheese, salt, and pepper. Continue blending until all of the ingredients are blended and the cauliflower is creamy.
**You might need to get a spoon in there and mix up the bottom and the top to make sure it blends completely**
****For an extra healthy version, try greek yogurt and fresh chives instead of cream cheese***
What you will need:
- 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 clove of garlic, diced
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon of reduced-fat Philadelphia cream cheese onion and chives.
- 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon of ground black pepper
The result: Great reviews! Everyone loved it. My Dad commented on how he felt like he was eating mashed potatoes, but didn't get that heavy feeling that you get after eating them. It was very light! We paired it with fresh caught salmon and peas!
