Mashed Cauliflower with Roasted Garlic
Ingredients:
- 4 cups fresh cauliflower in small pieces (florets only)
- 3 cups lightly salted water or chicken stock
- 1/3 cup creme fraiche
- 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/3 cup + 2 Tbsp Pecorino Romano, grated
- 3 large cloves whole garlic (optionally roasted)
- 2 Tbsp fresh chives, finely minced or snipped
- 2 tsp sea salt (try our Flor de Sal)
- fresh ground pepper to taste (try our Smokehouse Peppercorns)
Directions:
Simmer florets and water/chicken stock (if using fresh garlic cloves add those as well) in a medium pot for 6 minutes and then drain thoroughly. While hot, place drained florets in large bowl with creme fraiche, olive oil, roasted garlic, Pecorino, salt, and pepper.
With immersion blender, process ingredients until just pureed (or to desired consistency). To finish, sprinkle with additional grated Pecorino, a drizzle of olive oil, and chives.
Serves 4-6
