Immersion Blender (Optional)
Ingredients
3CupsCauliflower FloretsCan use Frozen
1/2 CupChicken Broth or WaterI prefer Chicken Broth for great flavor
2 TbspButter
2TbspHeavy Whipping Cream
1/4 tspGarlic Powderor 4-6 cloves of roasted garlic
Salt and Pepper to Taste
Instructions
In a Sauce Pan Cook Cauliflower or Medium-High Heat with the Chicken Broth
Drain Chicken Broth and discard - this adds flavor while cooking, but must be drained well
Add the Butter, Heavy Cream and Garlic Powder or if you have roasted garlic use it in place of the garlic powder. I also add my salt and pepper at this point but you can wait until it is mashed and add it then.
Using an Immersion blender (you can get one here, and can be used for so many things) mash you Cauliflower. If you don't have an immersion blender a potato masher or mixer can be used, but may result in lumpier consistency.
Serve immediately - I add an extra pad of butter to the top and sprinkle with some parsley!
Notes
An Immersion blender works amazing to get a smooth consistencyMake sure you drain the broth or water off the cauliflower the best you can or you will have runny cauliflower - I use a steamer basket to keep the cauliflower up out of the broth (it steams) and helps with moisture content resulting in a firmer mash.
