COMFORTING CAULIFLOWER MASH

Regarded as a superfood, the humble cauliflower is full of goodness, containing vitamins C, K and B6. Rich in potassium and sulphur, which can help boost the immune system, it makes an ideal choice for the season of coughs and colds. Cauliflower mash can be a welcome potato alternative to accompany a winter supper, providing comfort in a bowl. sauté 1 sliced onion and 1 crushed garlic clove in a large pan with 1 tbsp olive oil over a low to medium heat until softened. Add 1 cauliflower, finely chopped, and ¼ cup of vegetable stock. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and turn down the heat to a low simmer. Cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring halfway through and checking to make sure there is still enough liquid to steam the cauliflower. It is important not to overcook it to keep the fresh flavour intact. Remove from the heat and season with a little sea salt and white pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Serve with a knob of butter and chopped chives to garnish.
