Mashed Golden Cauliflower & Roasted Garlic
Ingredients
4 cups fresh cauliflower in small pieces – florets only
3 cups lightly salted water or chicken stock
1/3 cup creme fraiche
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons fresh, peppery, robust extra virgin olive oil
1/3 + 2 tablespoons cup Pecorino Romano, grated
3 large cloves whole garlic (optionally roasted)
2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely minced or snipped
2 teaspoons sea salt
Fresh ground pepper to taste
Preparation
To prepare our Mashed Golden Cauliflower and Roasted Garlic, place the florets and water or chicken stock to a simmer in a medium pot. If you are not using roasted garlic, add your fresh garlic cloves to the pot as well, simmer for 6 minutes, and drain thoroughly. Place the still hot, drained florets in a large bowl with the creme fraiche, olive oil, roasted garlic, Pecorino, salt, and pepper. With an immersion blender (stick blender), processes the ingredients until just pureed or to desired consistency. To finish, drizzle with additional grated Pecorino, a drizzle of olive oil, and chives.
Serves 4-6.
