Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium heads of cauliflower cut into florets
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup fresh spinach chopped
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add cauliflower florets and cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Add the cooked cauliflower to the pot and use an immersion blender to puree until smooth and creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, transfer the mixture to a regular blender in batches and blend until smooth.
  5. Return the creamy cauliflower mixture to the pot and stir in the cooked quinoa and chopped spinach. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
  6. Serve the creamy butter cauliflower in bowls, topped with cherry tomatoes, parsley, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
