Ingredients
  • 1 large head cauliflower
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 4 cups vegetable stock
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Fresh marjoram and thyme leaves for garnish optional
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut cauliflower into florets. Place florets in a large baking dish. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Add 1/2 cup water to the dish.
  2. Bake uncovered for 45-60 minutes, or until a knife cuts easily through the stem and cauliflower is slightly charred. Remove from oven, coarsely chop and set aside.
  3. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add cauliflower and the vegetable stock. Simmer until cauliflower is very soft, about 10 minutes.
  4. Mash cauliflower with a potato masher or puree using an immersion blender or a food processor until smooth or leave some chunks for a texture. Simmer for additional 5 minutes. Serve garnished with fresh thyme and marjoram or parsley leaves and freshly grated pepper if desired. Enjoy.
