Ingredients
1 head large (6-7 inch dia.) Cauliflower, raw |
2 Tbsp. Unsalted butter |
1/4 tsp. Salt |
1 to taste Black pepper |
2 Tbsp 2% milk (or unsweetened non-dairy milk) |
Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the cauliflower. Cook about 10 minutes until very tender.
Drain the cauliflower and transfer to food processor or blender. Puree cauliflower until smooth. (Alternative method: mash cauliflower with a potato masher.)
Add the butter, milk, and seasonings and blend or mash to combine. If cauliflower is too thick, add milk in small amounts. Puree until it reaches a light and smooth consistency.
