Instructions
- Prepare the cauliflower by washing it thoroughly. Place in the slow cooker with 4 tablespoons of the butter, cut into pieces.
- Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 5 hours.
- Add the milk, remaining butter, salt and pepper. Use a potato masher to mash the cooked cauliflower until desired consistency. Alternatively, transfer to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.

Notes
Storing: Keep in the fridge for up to 7 days in a covered container. It can be frozen for up to 6 months.
Tip 1: Season additionally with fresh or dried herbs to give it a personalized taste. Chives, oregano, parsley, rosemary, thyme and basil all work really well.
Tip 2: Mashed cauliflower can be kept somewhat chunky or blended until it's perfectly smooth and creamy. A blender or food processor does the job at making it smooth, while a potato masher keeps it chunky.
