Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 heads cauliflower - about 4 pounds; woody parts removed and cut in chunks
  • 1 bulb garlic - roasted; see Tips in post
  • ½ cup broth or stock - see Ingredients in post
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt +/- - if using salted broth or stock, season last!
  • cup nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs - coarsely chopped
  • sea salt and fresh ground pepper - season to taste

Instructions

  • Add the cauliflower florets to the Instant Pot along with the roasted garlic, broth, water, and salt. Lock the lid, and set to 7 minutes. When the time is up, do a quick pressure release.
  • Add the cooked cauliflower with roasted garlic and liquid to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until smooth.
  • Add the Greek yogurt, butter, and coarsely chopped herbs. Pulse until thoroughly combined. Add more broth as needed to achieve a creamy consistency.
  • Scoop the puréed cauliflower mixture into a serving bowl. Finish with a pat of butter and a sprinkling of fresh herbs as desired.

Notes

Seasoning the cauliflower is an important step! If using salted broth or stock, you may not need any, and you can skip the additional salt in the pressure cooker, and check for seasoning at the end.
In calculating macronutrients, I used 42 ounces of cauliflower florets. This is an approximation for 2 average heads of cauliflower.
