Ingredients

  • 1 large head cauliflower 2 to 3 lb
  • 4 Tbsp cream cheese 55 g
  • ¼ tsp each salt and pepper
Brown Butter (Optional)
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter 55 g
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Steam: Start up a large pot of boiling water, with a steamer basket positioned over it. Chop the cauliflower into chunks, removing the tough inner stem. Transfer to the steamer basket, cover with a lid, and cook for 15 minutes, or until cauliflower is fork-tender.
  2. Brown Butter (optional): Meanwhile, add butter to a pan (use a light colored pan if possible so you can see the change in color) and place over low/medium heat. Melt butter, then add minced garlic. Continue cooking. Butter will first bubble, then after 5 or so minutes will begin to darken. When little dark bits begin to form and the butter has darkened to the color of light caramel, remove from heat.
  3. Puree: Place cauliflower, cream cheese, salt, and pepper in a food processor and puree until smooth and creamy.
  4. Serve: Serve warm, optionally topped with a drizzle of brown butter.
