Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower cut into florets
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt more, to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 green onion sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Cut the cauliflower into florets, removing the stems.
- Add the water and white vinegar to a large pot. Add a steamer basket and fill with cauliflower.
- Steam for 10-15 minutes, until very tender.
- Add butter, cream cheese, salt and pepper. Blend with an immersion blender (or transfer to a blender or food processor to blend) until smooth.
- Reheat over low heat until ready to serve. Garnish with green onion, if desired.
Notes
- Don't use the stems of the cauliflower for the smoothest mash.
- Add white vinegar to the steam water to reduce the cauliflower smell.
- You can substitute sour cream or heavy whipping cream for the cream cheese if you want.
- Be sure to check the mash for seasoning and add more salt if necessary. Cauliflower needs a lot of salt.
