Ingredients
1 large head cauliflower (about 6-7″ diameter), cut to florets
2 ounces organic goat cheese, softened
1/4 cup chicken or beef broth
1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
Fresh pepper
Instructions
Steam the Cauliflower: Wash and trim the cauliflower and cut into florets. Steam in a large stove-top steamer until the florets are easily pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes.
Prep Remaining Ingredients: Put the unopened goat cheese in a small bowl of warm water to soft. Measure the broth and chop the chives.
Mash the Cauliflower: Transfer the steamed cauliflower to a large food processor. Add the goat cheese and salt and process on medium-low. Add the broth, 1 tablespoon at a time until creamy. Pause to scrape the bowl as needed and stir in most of the minced chives at the end.
Serve and Store: Transfer the mashed cauliflower to a serving bowl, and sprinkle with the remaining chives. Finish with fresh cracked pepper and serve warm. Refrigerate any leftovers in a lidded glass container for up to 3 days.
