Curried Mashed Cauliflower With Shallots

Description: I can't remember where I got this recipe but it's very good. I just found the recipe so I'm posting since it is unlike the other curried cauliflower recipes posted. To lighten it up, use half and half or light cream instead of heavy cream.

Ingredients:

• 1 (2 lb) cauliflower
• 1/4 cup milk
• salt
• 1 tablespoon shallot, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• ground pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

1. Trim cauliflower by removing leaves and core. Break into large flowerets.
2. Put pieces in a large saucepan and add cold water to cover. Bring to a boil and cool for 15-20 minutes or until tender but not soft; drain.
3. Return cauliflower to saucepan. Using the side of a spoon, chop the pieces of cauliflower until they are slightly mashed and look coarse.
4. Add shallots, curry and cream. Add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Cook, stirring until hot.
6. Stir in butter and serve.
