So, finally, here is my cauliflower mash! This is the food which inspired this blog. I have so many people asking me how to make it, and instead of emailing all of those who ask, it is so much easier (and infinitely more fun) posting on this blog.
To make enough mash for four servings:
Steam a medium head of fresh cauliflower for 20 to 25 minutes until it is soft. Steaming is a much better option than boiling or microwaving, as the nutrients stay intact.
Pour off any excess water and place your cauliflower into a bowl suitable for blending.
Add 30g of butter and about 75ml of fresh cream.
Grate a bit of fresh Parmesan or other Italian hard cheese into it.
Add a pinch of salt, or more to taste.
Blend the whole lot together with a stick blender until the cauliflower is completely smooth and creamy. I find that a stick blender does a better job than a food processor, as the food processor doesn't get it quite as fine.
You can experiment with different flavours of this mash by replacing the Parmesan with things like wasabi, mustard, garlic etc.
