Ingredients
•4 cloves garlic, unpeeled
•1 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
•1 heads cauliflower, trimmed into florets

Modify this recipe by adding in sweet potatoes and sautéed onions, or other spices like garam masala, a pinch of red pepper flakes, rosemary or thyme. If cauliflower isn't for you, triple the recipe and try parsnip-turnip puree - it's DELISH!
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Put the garlic in a small, heatproof dish and drizzle with the olive oil. Cover and roast for 15 minutes. Set aside to cool. While the garlic is roasting, put the cauliflower in a saucepan with 1/2 inch of water. Cover and steam over medium-high heat for 10 minutes, or until tender. Drain well and transfer the cauliflower to a food processor. Squeeze the papery garlic skins to release the cloves. Add the garlic to the food processor along with the stock, ghee, salt, and pepper. Process until smooth and fluffy. Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with the pepper and thyme, and serve warm.
