Boursin Mashed Cauliflower Food

BEST CAULIFLOWER MASHED POTATOES (WITH BOURSIN!)

Steps:

• Add the cauliflower to a large pot with 1 cup of water. Bring the water to a boil, cover the pot, and let the cauliflower steam for 10 minutes. Remove it from the heat and drain any remaining liquid.
• Working in batches if needed, add the cauliflower and Boursin cheese to your food processor and blend on high until smooth. Season to taste, starting with 1 teaspoon of salt.
• Serve the Boursin mashed cauliflower in a bowl and top with a little butter and some chives.

BOURSIN MASHED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Prepare the cauliflower: Remove the stem and cut the cauliflower into smaller florets. Trim the stem on the florets as much as possible (stems can cause graininess). In a medium-size pot, add a couple cups of water (just enough to cover florets). Bring to a boil and generously season water with salt. Add florets and turn heat down to medium. After 10 minutes, remove from heat.
• Finish: After boiling, drain well in a colander. Place florets in a food processor or blender along with Boursin cheese and salt. Pulse until smooth. Taste to determine whether more salt is needed. Top with ground pepper, a small dollop of Boursin or fresh herbs (optional). Serve immediately.

• Uncover the pot and mash the cauliflower.

Steps:

• I prefer to do this in the microwave. Drain well.
• Place the steamed cauliflower in the food processor or mixer.
• Do not put it in a blender, it doesn't give it the right consistency.
