Mashed Cauliflower

Cauliflower puree is a delicious low-carb alternative to traditional mashed potatoes.
Put the garlic in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil over high heat. Divide the cauliflower into small florets and add to the pot. Bring back to the boil, reduce the heat to medium-high, and cook until the cauliflower is very soft, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain well, transfer back to the pan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until dry, about 3 minutes.Combine garlic, cauliflower, olive oil and buttermilk in a large bowl. Mash the cauliflower with a potato masher until it is thick and meaty. Transfer to a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the cabbage is warmed through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. If desired, sprinkle with parsley and serve hot.
