Creamy Whipped Cauliflower with Herbs
Creamy whipped cauliflower with herbs is the lighter stand-in for mashed potatoes that still delivers the comfort. D.O.P. Monti Iblei 04's herbal profile shines through once roasted garlic and fresh herbs go in.
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1/3 cup D.O.P. Monti Iblei 04
- 3 cloves garlic, roasted
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Steam the cauliflower florets until very fork-tender, about 12 to 15 minutes, they should offer no resistance when pierced.
- Drain well in a colander and let sit a couple minutes so excess water can evaporate, this keeps the puree from turning watery.
- Transfer the cauliflower to a food processor along with D.O.P. Monti Iblei 04 and the roasted garlic.
- Blend until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
- Season with salt and pepper, pulse briefly to combine, then transfer to a serving bowl and stir in the fresh chives.
