Ingredients

  • 2 cups cauliflower florets
  • 2 tbsps salted butter
  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup herbs of choice

Instructions

  • Add the water and cauliflower to a saucepan, seal tightly with foil, cover and turn the flame on high and cook for 10 minutes.
  • Uncover the saucepan and dry any residual water and then turn the stove off.
  • Add the butter, salt and pepper and mash slightly, leaving some lumps (adjust the seasoning if necessary)
  • Sprinkle the cheese on top and cover the saucepan. Leave for 3-5 minutes so the cheese can melt.
  • Stir slightly for the cheese to mix with the cauliflower and place in serving dish.
  • Garnish with herbs. Chives are a good option, but parsley and dill also work well. I sometimes opt for microgreens instead of traditional herbs. Feel free to experiment till you find what you like best.
