Smooth Cauliflower Thyme Butter (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
42g unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
02 -
5g finely chopped fresh thyme
03 -
5g salt, with extra in case it needs more
04 -
240ml chicken broth, low-sodium
05 -
900g cauliflower, cut into florets
06 -
Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
# Instructions:
01 -
In a large pan, heat the chicken broth and salt over medium-high heat until it's bubbling.
02 -
Toss the cauliflower into the bubbling broth. Turn the heat down, cover with a lid, and let it steam for about 20 minutes, or until it’s very soft when poked with a fork.
03 -
Scoop the steamed cauliflower out with a slotted spoon and transfer it into a food processor. Don't discard the broth left in the pan.
04 -
Take 3 tablespoons of the hot broth and whisk in the butter cubes over low heat, stirring until it’s velvety smooth.
05 -
Pour the buttery broth mix into the food processor with the cauliflower. Add thyme, some black pepper, and extra salt if needed.
06 -
Blend the mixture until it’s silky and lump-free. If necessary, tweak the thickness by drizzling in more warm broth while blending.
07 -
Scoop the puree into a bowl and serve it right away while it’s still hot.
# Notes:
01 -
Use a fine sieve to pass the puree through for an ultra-smooth finish.
02 -
This creamy cauliflower mash works perfectly as a low-carb swap for mashed potatoes.
