Cauliflower Mash-Up

Ingredients ~

• 1 head cauliflower
• ¾ cup chicken broth
• 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
• 4 ounces cream cheese or light cream cheese
• ¼ teaspoon paprika
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt
• Chopped chives or green onions for garnish

 

Method ~

Steam the cauliflower in or over boiling water for 15 – 20 minutes, until tender. Drain. Purée the cauliflower using a stick blender or place the cauliflower in a traditional blender along with ½ cup chicken broth until the mixture is smooth. Transfer to a medium cooking pan. In a small cup, dissolve the cornstarch with the remaining ¼ cup broth and add to the purée. Add cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the puree begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped chives or green onions.
