Serves 4

You will need:


1 large head of cauliflower


 salt


1 to 1 1/2 cup Progresso Vegetable Cooking Stock


salt & pepper


6 thick slices pancetta, cubed


1/2 cup grated parmesan


Fresh parsley


good olive oil

  1. Cook the pancetta in a pan until crispy, let it drain on kitchen paper.
  2. Cut the cauliflower into florets and boil them until fork tender in salted water. Drain and place back into the pot.
  3. Add a bit of stock and begin to purée the cauliflower with an immersion blender. Keep adding stock a little at a time, but be careful, you don't want it too thin! (You can also use a hand masher, the texture will just be a little coarser.)
  4. Stir in half of the parmesan and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Serve the pure with pancetta, more parmesan, some pepper, fresh parsley and a light drizzle of olive oil.

TIP:

You can also try other kinds of cheese like a cheddar or gruyere.
