Ingredients:

• 1 head cauliflower
• 1 tablespoon cream cheese
• ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 clove minced garlic
• ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper
• fresh or dried chives for garnish
• 3 tablespoons butter
  
  

Directions:

1. Boil a large pot of water over high heat. Clean and cut cauliflower into small (1-2 inch) pieces. Cook in boiling water about 6 minutes or until very tender. Drain well, but do not allow to cool. Pat dry in clean kitchen towels or paper towels.
   
2. In a food processor or a large bowl using an immersion blender, puree the hot cauliflower with the cream cheese, parmesan, garlic, salt and pepper until smooth.
   
3. Garnish with chives and pats of butter.
   

Tip – try using roasted garlic for a different flavor – roast garlic in the oven until caramelized, then mash into a puree, and use 1 teaspoon for each clove of garlic in any recipe.
