"Think of this as a healthier alternative to mashed potatoes. Because cauliflower has a very simple flavor, the herbed olive oil sends it over the top. Fresh herbs are a must." I WILL Be making this one!! And, my farm def. has fresh herbs. YAY.
(makes 6 servings)
Herb-Infused Olive Oil:
2 cups EVOO
2 sprigs rosemary
1/2 cup variegated* sage leaves
5 sprigs lemon* thyme
6 cloves of garlic, smashed and peeled
1 jalapeno, thinly sliced (wear gloves*)
Either 1 lime or 1 lemon* sliced into rounds)
In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil. Add all remaining ingredients and allow flavors to infuse 15 mins. over low heat. Remove from stovetop and pour into a heatproof container. Use immediately or store in a tightly sealed container or jar in refrigerator up to 1 month.
Cauliflower Mash:
2 heads of cauliflower, cut into florets (about 10 cups)
3/4-1 cup olive infused olive oil
1/2 cup freshly* shredded Parmesan cheese
Kosher* salt
Rosemary, thyme, and sage for garnish
Bring a large pot of water to a boil Add cauliflower florets and blanch 15 mins. Drain and place cauliflower into a food processor or blender; puree until almost smooth. With food processor running, add infused olive oil (strain the herbs as your pour), depending on the consistency you want. Scape cauliflower into a bowl and stir in Parmesan. Season with salt. Garnish with fresh herbs., and if you wish, a drizzle of the infused olive oil.
