The recipe I followed had me cook it in milk. After the process, I
realized that was silly.

Like I said, next time I'll steam it and then I'll melt a little
butter on it... mash it with my zig zag potato masher and if it needs
any liquid, I'll put a tablespoon or so of milk on it (which I doubt
it will need). The cauliflower doesn't absorb liquid the way potato
does. You moosh the cauliflower up with the masher and it breaks down
into pieces maybe 1/4 inch in diameter. It's called "rustic", I
called it good... hubby called it "delicious" and I'm doing it again
soon!
