Equipment

  • 1 saucepan with cover
  • 1 Food Processor

Ingredients
  

  • 1 head cauliflower (about 2 lbs.)
  • 1 cup stock (chicken or vegetable)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 3 tbsp butter, cut into chunks
  • 1/2 tsp chopped fresh herbs (thyme, parsley, etc.) optional

Instructions
 

  • Trim the cauliflower of any leaves and remove the core. Cut into approximately 1/2-inch pieces. Don't worry about trying to keep the florets intact.
  • Heat the stock and salt in a saucepan. Add in the cut cauliflower and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 15 minutes, or until cauliflower is very tender.
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked cauliflower to a food processor. Add the butter and a tablespoon or two (or as much as needed) of the cooking liquid from the saucepan to the cauliflower. Process until smooth.
  • Taste and adjust the seasonings with the salt and pepper as needed. Add in the optional chopped fresh herbs and process until just combined. Transfer to a bowl and serve hot.
  • NOTE: The cauliflower puree can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator or freezer until needed. Reheat hen needed on the stovetop or in a microwave.
