Mashed Cauliflower With Roasted Garlic Food

ROASTED GARLIC MASHED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Cut top 1/2-inch of garlic head to expose cloves. Lay garlic on a sheet of foil, drizzle with olive oil and wrap to enclose.
• Roast garlic in preheated oven until cloves have softened and are just lightly golden brown, about 40 - 45 minutes.
• Bring about 1/2-inch of water to a boil in a large pot. Place a steamer basic in pot then place cauliflower on basket and steam until very tender, about 10 - 13 minutes.
• Remove garlic from skin (just squeeze each one upward to remove), place in a large food processor. Add cauliflower, parmesan, butter, Greek yogurt, thyme and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Cover food processor with lid and remove center insert of lid (since you're working with a hot mixture). Process mixture until smooth, about 1 minute, while scraping down sides as needed.
• Serve warm with parsley if desired.

MASHED CAULIFLOWER WITH ROASTED GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Slice about 1/4" from the head of garlic and drizzle olive oil over the exposed cloves. Wrap garlic in aluminum foil and roast for 40-50 minutes, until soft. Remove from oven and cool until you can handle it.
• Meanwhile, set a vegetable steamer into a pot or saucepan with a lid. Add an inch of water to the pot and fill the steamer basket with the cauliflower florets. Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil. Cook cauliflower until very tender (so that when you pierce it with a knife it goes in and comes out easily without catching), about 10 minutes.
• Transfer cauliflower to a food processor. Squeeze the individual cloves of roasted garlic into the cauliflower. Add the thyme and secure the lid on the food processor. Pulse the cauliflower mixture until there are no lumps and it's smooth like mashed potatoes. This may take a few minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste. Can garnish with extra sprinkle of thyme and a drizzle of good olive oil to serve.
