MASHED CAULIFLOWER WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS
1 extra-large onion, slivered or chopped, about 8 ounces after peeling
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium fresh cauliflower, chopped, about 1 pound
Salt, to taste
1 tablespoon heavy cream
In a medium skillet, sauté the onions in the butter over medium-low heat until caramelized. Season with salt, to taste.
Meanwhile, put the cauliflower in a covered casserole dish along with 1 tablespoon water. Cover and microwave on HIGH power 5 minutes. Stir, then microwave another 5 minutes or until very tender. Let stand covered 5 minutes then drain any excess water. Put the cauliflower in a food processor with the chopping blade inserted. Add the cream and a little salt and process until very smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl and stir in the caramelized onions. Adjust the seasoning with salt, if needed.
