"Mock" Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Recipe courtesy George Stella

Ingredients
1 medium head cauliflower
1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/8 teaspoon straight chicken base or bullion (may substitute 1/2 teaspoon salt)
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh or dry chives, for garnish
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions
Set a stockpot of water to boil over high heat.

Clean and cut cauliflower into small pieces. Cook in boiling water for about 6
minutes, or until well done. Drain well; do not let cool and pat cooked
cauliflower very dry between several layers of paper towels.

In a bowl with an immersion blender, or in a food processor, puree the hot
cauliflower with the cream cheese, Parmesan, garlic, chicken base, and pepper
until almost smooth.
Garnish with chives, and serve hot with pats of butter.

Hint: Try roasting the garlic and adding a little fresh rosemary for a whole new
taste.
