HOW TO MAKE PURÉED CAULIFLOWER WITH ROASTED GARLIC
This dish is really surprisingly easy to put together.
There is just a little prep work and then the rest is a snap.
How to roast garlic. That’s the easier part! Simply cut off the top of the whole head of garlic, add a little olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast in a 350°F oven for 50 minutes to an hour!
HOW TO CUT UP A HEAD OF CAULIFLOWER
It’s very similar to cutting up a head of broccoli. By the way, cauliflower is loaded with nutritional value…read more about that here.
Simply cut away the core with a nice sharp, large knife.
And then simply cut the cauliflower into smaller florets. So easy!
Now, all you need to do is steam the cauliflower.
We love using our bamboo steamer, but any method you have for steaming will work perfectly.
You can even steam them in a pot with a lid and about 1 cup of water. Steam for about 20 minutes, or until soft.
Now, purée the ingredients in a food processor.
Season with salt and pepper.
Top with butter, if desired! So delicious!
