Ingredients:
| 1 | medium head cauliflower |
| 1 tablespoon | cream cheese, softened |
| 1/4 cup | grated Parmesan cheese |
| 1/2 teaspoon | minced garlic |
| 1/8 teaspoon | salt |
| 1/8 teaspoon | freshly ground black pepper |
| 1/2 teaspoon | chopped fresh or dry chives, for garnish |
| 3 tablespoons | unsalted butter |
Directions:
Set a stockpot of water to boil over high heat.
Clean and cut cauliflower into small pieces. Cook in boiling water for about 6 minutes, or until well done. Drain well; do not let cool and pat cooked cauliflower very dry between several layers of paper towels.
In a bowl with an immersion blender, or in a food processor, puree the hot cauliflower with the cream cheese, Parmesan, garlic, salt, and pepper until almost smooth.
Garnish with chives, and serve hot with pats of butter.
Hint: Try roasting the garlic and adding a little fresh rosemary for a whole new taste.
