Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2 cups green cabbage, thinly shredded
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 stalks green onions, finely sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
- Set up a steamer and steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté minced garlic and shredded cabbage in 2 tablespoons of butter until softened.
- In a food processor or mixing bowl, combine steamed cauliflower, remaining butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Blend or mash until smooth.
- Fold in the sautéed cabbage and green onions into the cauliflower mash.
- Return the mixture to the skillet and warm over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Adjust seasoning to taste and top with an extra pat of butter if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- Steam rather than boil cauliflower to avoid excess moisture.
- Warming cream before mixing helps keep the mash hot and smooth.
- Customize with herbs or grated cheese for added flavor.
