MASHED CAULIFLOWER

After trying this using the Instant Pot and having it come out as a puree, I decided to cook it on the stovetop and this version is perfect!  Almost like eating real mashed potatoes!

1 head of cauliflower trimmed from stalk and cut into pieces
1 cup of chicken broth (more or less - I didn't measure it)
Salt
Pepper

Put cauliflower into large pot.  Add broth.  Bring to boil over high heat.  Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes until cauliflower is fork tender.  Using a slotted spoon remove cauliflower to colander to drain.  Pour cooking liquid into a measuring cup. Put drained cauliflower back into pot and mash with a potato masher.  Place 3/4's of the mashed cauliflower into a food processor and pulse for a minute or so until cauliflower looks semi-smooth.  Add processed cauliflower back to pan with remaining mashed cauliflower and stir to combine.  Add a little of the reserved broth if you think it needs to be a little more creamy.  Season with salt and pepper - I used a few pinches of salt and a couple of turns of the pepper grinder.
