Mashed Cauliflower, Leeks & Garlic

The title might not sound that appealing, but think of it as a mashed potatoes-look-alike, except healthier.  We all enjoyed it as a side for our fish and roast veggies dinner.  Got this one from the Mayo Clinic recipe site.

1 head cauliflower
1 clove garlic
1 leek, white only, split in 4 pieces
1 tablespoon butter

salt and pepper to taste

Break washed cauliflower into small pieces. In a good-sized saucepan, steam cauliflower, garlic and leeks in a little water until completely tender, about 20 to 30 minutes. Drain off water into a cup.  While cauliflower is hot, puree until the vegetables resemble mashed potatoes. (Use a food processor, of if you prefer a smoother texture, use a blender. Process only a small portion at a time, being careful not to splash yourself with hot puree.) Add back a little hot water if vegetables seem dry. Stir in butter, salt and pepper to taste.
