Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients

• 1 large head of cauliflower, broken into florets
• 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, divided in half
• 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• Fresh Minced Parsley

Instructions

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the main vegetable (cauliflower florets, beans, or sprouts) and cook until just fork-tender, about 5 to 10 minutes depending on the vegetable.

2. 2

   Drain thoroughly and return to the pot, or transfer to a serving bowl if using a sauce-based finish.

3. 3

   Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add any aromatics (garlic, shallots) and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.

4. 4

   Toss the cooked vegetables in the skillet with the aromatics and any remaining ingredients (cheese, honey, vinegar, herbs). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. 5

   For mashed sides: combine the cooked vegetable with butter, milk, and seasonings in a food processor or with a hand masher until creamy.

6. 6

   Serve warm.
