Cooking Time: 30 Min
Servings: 10

8 large cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsp butter
5-6 cups cauliflower florets
6-7 cups vegetable broth or water
1 tsp salt (more to taste)
1/2 tsp pepper (more to taste)
1/2 cup milk (more to taste)

Garlic:
Saute the minced garlic with the butter in a large nonstick skillet
over low heat. Cook for several minutes or until the garlic is soft
and fragrant but not browned (browned or burnt garlic will taste
bitter). Remove from heat and set aside.

Cauliflower:
Bring the water or vegetable broth to a boil in a large pot. Add
the cauliflower and cook, covered, for 7-10 minutes or until
cauliflower is fork tender. Do not drain.

Puree:
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cauliflower pieces to the blender.
Add 1 cup vegetable broth or cooking liquid, sauteed garlic/butter,
salt, pepper, and milk. Blend or puree for several minutes until the
sauce is very smooth, adding more broth or milk depending on how thick
you want the sauce. You may have to do this in batches depending on
the size of your blender. Serve hot! If the sauce starts to look dry,
add a few drops of water, milk, or olive oil.
