STEP BY STEP
Let’s make it.
- Toast the almonds in a dry saucepan over medium heat for 3–4 minutes, stirring, then transfer to a bowl.
- Melt the butter in the saucepan. Soften the onion for 5 minutes, add the garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
- Add the cauliflower, water, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 15–18 minutes, until the cauliflower is very tender.
- Add the spinach and cook for 2 minutes. Blend carefully with an immersion blender, keeping its head submerged, then stir in the cream and lemon juice. Warm gently.
- Divide into 4 servings and scatter over the toasted almonds. Include an equal share of the almonds in each bowl.
