How to cook cauliflower grits

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into chunks and steam for 5-7 minutes until soft, do not overcook.

Step 3

Grate the cheese while the cauliflower is cooking.

Step 4

Drain out any water from the cauliflower and while hot add 2 tbsp butter, shredded cheese, salt and pepper, and blend until smooth. I used a hand blender. Taste and add more cheese, salt, and pepper if desired.
