Place the large florets of cauliflower in the steamer basket. Add whole garlic cloves on top.

Step 3

Close the lid and set the vent to sealing. Pressure cook on Manual High pressure for 3 minutes. At the end of cooking time, quick release the pressure.

Step 4

Carefully transfer the cooked cauliflower and garlic to a food processor. Add the butter, salt and pepper, as well as the ingredients for your chosen flavour.

Step 5

Process for about 10 seconds, scrape down the sides, then pulse a few more times until the cauliflower reaches your desired texture. Taste and season with additional salt, if necessary.
