Curried Cauliflower Puree

Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (may want to add more)
2 1/2 teaspoons hot curry powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
cup heavy cream, optional

Preparation

1
Trim the leaves and cut out the central core of the cauliflower. Break the cauliflower into small florets. You can peel the core and slice crosswise or discard.
2
Add the cauliflower pieces to a large pot and cover with water. Bring to boil. Cook the cauliflower, covered, until tender. It will probably take about 5 minutes.
3
Drain the cauliflower pieces, reserving the cooking liquid, and place in a food processor. Add butter, curry powder, salt, and pepper, and 1/4 cup of the reserved cooking liquid.
4
Puree to desired consistency, adding more cooking liquid or more butter, if desired. I added about 1/4 cup of heavy cream which added a lovely richness to the puree. Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary.
5
Serve immediately while still warm, or pour into a baking dish and reheat in a 250 degree F oven when you are ready to serve.
