Description

Learn how to steam cauliflower without a steamer and use your microwave instead to make this delicious side that can completely replace mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 (4 ounce) log herbed goat cheese (chevre)
cracked black pepper to taste

Directions

1 Place cauliflower florets into a large microwave-safe bowl with enough water to just cover the bottom of the bowl.

3 Place drained cauliflower into a food processor with goat cheese; purée until completely smooth. Season with black pepper.
