Mashed Cauliflower-My Low-Carb Answer to Mashed Potatoes

I love to discover a delicous low-carb substitute for a favorite starchy or high-carb recipe. This mashed cauliflower is a delicious replacement for mashed potatoes. Here it is served with my low-carb stuffed pork loin.
 
​Serves 6
1 head cauliflower
4 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon salt
3 ounces cream cheese-full fat
2 tbsp unsalted butter
salt and pepper to taste
½ cup flat leafed parsley, chopped

1. Separate the head of cauliflower into florets. Slice the core. Fill a covered large saucepan with 2 inches of water and add 1 teaspoon salt. Add the florets, the stems and the garlic cloves. Cover and heat the water to a strong simmer. Cook the cauliflower and garlic until soft when pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes.
2. Drain and place the cooked cauliflower and garlic into a large mixing bowl.
3. Add the cream cheese and butter and mash with a potato masher or purée with an immersion blender. 
4. Stir in the chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
