Creamy Mashed Cauliflower

Let me start by saying:  I do not like cauliflower.  Here is a conversation from our house yesterday:

Me:  What do you want with the meatloaf tonight?

Hubby:  mmmmm.  I don't care.

Me:  I was thinking baked potatoes..?

Hubby gives me a discerning look. And then says:  Cauliflower?

Me:  Eww.

And then I decide to make myself a baked potato and him cauliflower.  But then I forgot to grab a potato from downstairs and I didn't feel like walking back downstairs.  So, cauliflower it was!  And boy, oh boy, it turned out fab.u.lous!  I've made mashed cauliflower before and I wasn't impressed.  However, I went with the clean-out-the-fridge route and mixed in a little Parmesan and cream cheese when I mashed it.  Swooooooon!  All that was left was one big spoonful . . .so I know it well received :)

Mashed Cauliflower

Serves 4

Ingredients:

1 lb Frozen Cauliflower

1 TB Cream Cheese

1 TB Olive Oil

1 Teaspoon Garlic

1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese

Salt and Pepper to taste

Step 1:  Cook the cauliflower per the instructions on the container.  I microwaved mine.  Drain well.

Step 2:  In a food processor, add the cauliflower + the remaining ingredients.  Pulse until smooth.  Taste, adjust salt and pepper as needed.  Serve immediately.  Nobody likes cold cauliflower puree.
