Directions:Step 1
Roast a bulb of garlic. Dice an onion into 1/4-1/2 inch diced.
Step 2
Put one cup of water into inner pot of the Ninja Foodi or the Instant Pot. Place the basket or another accessory that will hold the cauliflower into the inner pot.
Step 3
Cut the cauliflower in half and remove the stem and core. The florets can be cut up or left in large pieces. Add them to the basket, put the diced onions on top and put the pressure lid on. Turn the value to seal and set high pressure for 5 minutes. When the time is up, immediately release the pressure.
Step 4
Remove the basket with the cauliflower and dump the water out of the inner pot. Put the cauliflower in the inner pot and turn on sear/sauté on high. Use a Mix ‘N Masher or a wooden spoon or potato masher to break up the cauliflower and sauté it until the liquid evaporates. This takes about 5 minutes or so. Stir constantly so you don’t brown the cauliflower.
Step 5
When the cauliflower is pretty dry transfer to a mixing bowl.
Step 6
Add the bulb of roasted garlic to the cauliflower by squeezing from the bottom and the cloves will pop out. Add salt and pepper, grated Parmesan cheese, butter, sour cream and mix to combine. Th mixture will be chunky. Add 1/2 tbsp of heavy cream and use an immersion blender to purée the mixture if you want smooth mashed cauliflower. You can also let the mixture cool down and use a blender to purée it. If the mixture is to thick, add a little more cream. If it is to loose, add some more grated cheese or put it in a container, covered and bake it until it is the consistency you like. |
