Ingredients

Serves: 4

1 whole large cauliflower

2 tbsp double cream

4 tbsp butter

60g hard cheese, grated (e.g. Cheddar, Gouda, Red Leicester)

Method

  1. Trim the stem off the cauliflower and finely dice. Chop the head of the cauliflower into even, golf ball-sized chunks. Place it in a large bowl and add the cream and butter.

  2. Cover with a lid or a plate and microwave on high for 4mins. Remove and stir to evenly coat the cauliflower.

  3. Continue cooking for 3-4mins. Poke with a sharp knife to check, there should be no resistance when ready. Continue cooking if necessary.

  4. Transfer into a blender or food processor and add the cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. Blend until very smooth. Taste for seasoning. It can be reheated in the microwave if necessary.
