Level:

Easy

Serves:

4 servings

Ingredients

• 1 medium head cauliflower
• 1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/8 teaspoon straight chicken base or bullion (may substitute 1/2 teaspoon salt)
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh or dry chives, for garnish
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

Set a stockpot of water to boil over high heat.

Clean and cut cauliflower into small pieces. Cook in boiling water for about 6 minutes, or until well done. Drain well; do not let cool and pat cooked cauliflower very dry between several layers of paper towels.

In a bowl with an immersion blender, or in a food processor, puree the hot cauliflower with the cream cheese, Parmesan, garlic, chicken base, and pepper until almost smooth.

Garnish with chives, and serve hot with pats of butter.

Hint: Try roasting the garlic and adding a little fresh rosemary for a whole new taste.

 Mmmmm Tasty, thank you for that recipie

I have made these (a version of), and I LOVE 'EM!!!  I use my mixer, leaves 'em a little lumpy for texture.    Just wish I could get my family on board -  The only way they'll eat cauliflower is raw, with ranch dip 

I love rutabaga done up like mashed taters, too -    

Thanks for the recipe Marsha!

I tried the chicken recipe that you had recently posted before my surgery and both my kids and I LOVED it!  I can't wait until I can eat it again.
