Ingredients:

  • 3 cups (321g) fresh cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 leek, thickly sliced bulb and lower leaf portion (89g)
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, divided

  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

  1. Place a large pot filled about halfway with water over high heat and bring to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon salt, cauliflower and leeks and cook until very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain; return veggies to pot and toss in pan over high heat to thoroughly remove excess moisture.
