Step 1
First, fill a large pot with about 2 cups of water and bring it to a boil.
Step 2
Then, place a steamer basket in the bottom of the pot.
Step 3
Add the cauliflower florets into the steamer basket.
Step 4
Cover the pot and steam until the cauliflower is fork tender (6-8 minutes). Please do not steam for more than 8 minutes otherwise the florets will become very soggy.
Step 5
Remove from the heat, uncover the pot (this step is important) and let the cauliflower cool down for 5 minutes.
Step 6
Place the steamed cauliflower in bowl and cover with a plastic film leaving a small space to place the immersion blender. Slowly start to mash the cauliflower. At the beginning it will be a little hard to mash but after a few seconds it will be easy. Do not add any liquid like warm water or chicken broth while you are mashing the steamed cauliflower. Eventually it will release a bit of liquid and the mashing process will become easier. If you add more liquid your mashed cauliflower will become very watery at the end of the process.
Step 7
When the cauliflower is completely smooth add butter, mayo, garlic powder, Parmesan, salt, ground black pepper and stir well to combine.
Step 8
Taste to adjust the seasoning.
Step 9
Garnish with black pepper, olive oil and fresh parsley.
