Ingredients

Method

Toss together cauliflower, oil, coriander and cumin; arrange in single layer on lightly greased rimmed baking sheet. Bake in 425°F (220°C) oven, turning once, until tender and light golden, about 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, in nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat; cook thyme, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add leeks and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water; cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks are very tender, about 15 minutes.

In food processor, purée together leek mixture, cauliflower, milk, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper until smooth. Scrape into serving bowl; sprinkle with chives.
