Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice the top off the head of garlic to expose the tops of the garlic cloves.
- Drizzle the garlic generously with olive oil and wrap with foil. Bake garlic for 45 to 50 minutes, until garlic is nice and soft. Remove garlic from oven and set aside to cool.
- Place cauliflower and a few tablespoons of water in a microwave safe bowl with a lid (I use a microwave steamer container, but you can also use a glass casserole dish if it has a microwave safe lid.)
- Cook for 5 to 6 minutes on high, until just fork tender. You do not want to overcook your cauliflower, or your cauli mash will come out runny/soupy. Drain excess water from cauliflower.
- Squeeze the roasted garlic out of the garlic clove by hand into the food processor. Add cooked cauliflower, goat cheese, salt and pepper to food processor. Puree until smooth. Serve garnished with chives, if desired.
