Creamy Mashed Cauliflower

Directions

1. 1
   Divide a head of cauliflower into florets that are all roughly the same size.
2. 2
   Steam cauliflower pieces over boiling water (15 to 20 minutes), or until the cauliflower is tender.
3. 3
   Drain the cauliflower and toss it in a bowl of ice water to bring the cooking process to a screeching halt.
4. 4
   When the cauliflower has cooled, put the florets in a food processor along with 1/2 cup of water.
5. 5
   Puree the cauliflower on high speed until smooth, but with some very small pieces of cauliflower remaining in the mix for just a bit of texture.
6. 6
   Pour all of the pureed cauliflower into a medium sauce pan.
7. 7
   Dissolve the corn starch in the remaining 1/4 cup of water and add the solution to the cauliflower.
8. 8
   Add the cream, salt, white pepper, garlic powder and onion powder to the cauliflower and stir.
9. 9
   Set the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring often, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until thick.
