2 tablespoons

unsalted butter

garlic cloves (minced)

3 tablespoons

mayonnaise (or sour cream/ heavy cream)

1/4 cup

parmesan cheese

How to do

Steam the cauliflower for 6 – 8 minutes, until fork-tender. Don’t overcook them, cause they’ll become soggy. Remove the cauliflower from heat and drain well.

Melt the butter over medium-high heat to saute the garlic until fragrant, remove from heat.

Add steamed cauliflower, sauteed garlic and all the remaining ingredients into a large food processor. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth like mashed potato. You could use a masher or an immersion blender to mash the mixture alternatively.

Serve with pats of butter and favorite herbs if desired.
