1. Put the cauliflower and onions in a large pan, then pour in enough milk to almost cover. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 mins, or until the cauliflower is completely tender.
2. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cauliflower and onion to a blender with a ladleful of milk, and blitz until smoothly puréed. Add more milk if you like, mixing to soften to your preferred consistency. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made to this stage a day ahead. Keep chilled and reheat before serving.) Serve with a knob of butter melting on top.

Boosting the flavour

Add a few tablespoons of finely grated gruyère or emmental cheese while puréeing to transform this into cauliflower cheese cream.

  I have made this a number of times but use a little cream instead of the milk and season well with salt and pepper to taste as can be quite bland. A nice way to eat cauliflower.

  It was a change to have cauliflower made this way, quite nice but looked a bit like baby food.

  Tried this today for the first time. It was too sloppy so will use less milk next time. Also very bland. Tried: adding a tiny bit of Dijon mustard - okay; a little nutmeg - lifted it a bit; finally added some chopped parsley and chives. Wonder what it would be like cooked with milk but blended with some creme fraiche?
