Cauliflower Puree

We starting making cauliflower puree for Holiday dinners in place of mashed potatoes to have a more healthful alernative to all the potato dishes that we usually make.  We all really LOVE this recipe, well the adults do but the kids are still requesting mashed potatoes so I guess we will start making both.

Ingredients:

1 head of cauliflower

chicken broth
salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons butter *optional

Preparation:

Cut cauliflower into small pieces and place in a stock pot.  Add chicken broth almost to cover and cook over med/hi heat for about 30-40 minutes until cauliflower is for tender.   Drain cauliflower reserving some cooking liquid on the side.  Using an immersion blender blend cauliflower until smooth.  If it's too thick add back in a little stock to help loosen it up.  Season with salt and pepper and some butter or margarine if desired.
