P3 Creamy Cauliflower Mash

Steam cauliflower pieces and garlic over boiling water (15 to 20 minutes), or until the cauliflower is tender. Drain the cauliflower and transfer the cauliflower and garlic to a food processor or blender.

Add the olive oil/ghee/butter, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Process until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.

Transfer to a serving bowl and top with fresh chives before serving.
