Ingredients

1 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons butter
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon pepper
8 cups cauliflower florets
¾ cup Shamrock low-fat buttermilk

Instructions

Steam cauliflower florets until fork tender (mine took about 10 minutes on the stovetop).
Let the cauliflower cool for 5-15 minutes.
While cauliflower is cooling, add butter and garlic to a skillet and saute on medium for 2-5 minutes until garlic is fragrant and slightly browned.
Add cauliflower, buttermilk, garlic/butter mix, salt, and pepper into the food processor and process until smooth. (You can try the Vitamix or high powered blender, but I find a food processor yields a much creamier texture.)

Notes

I chose to saute my garlic a bit to bring out the flavor and cut the harshness, but if you and your family are garlic lovers, you can just put it in raw. Or, if you aren't that into garlic, skip it entirely and maybe add a little garlic powder to taste.
