Step 1

Bring a large pan of water to a boil and add the cauliflower florets. Bring back to the boil, then reduce the heat to a light simmer. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until the florets are fork tender. Place a colander over a bowl, and add the cauliflower to drain excess liquid.

Step 2

Fry the onion and garlic in a little olive oil until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the cauliflower to a food processor and blend until smooth. You may need to scrape the sides down a few times. Then add the onion and garlic, and blend for another 10 seconds or so. Next add the milk, cream cheese, half the parsley, salt and pepper (if using). Blend again.

Step 4

Spoon the cauliflower mash into your serving bowl, and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle the remaining parsley and grind of pepper, if using.
