Sour Cream Onion Cauliflower Mash Recipes

MASHED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Place cauliflower in a steamer over a large pot of boiling water. Steam for 15 minutes until tender. Alternatively, boil cauliflower in salted water for 10 minutes or until fork tender. Remove and drain. Cover with a lid and set aside.
• In the same pot, heat the butter over medium high heat. Sauté garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).
• Blend cauliflower and garlic in a food processor on high setting until smooth. You may need to do this in batches of two or three, depending on the size of your processor.
• Transfer blended cauliflower into the pot with the garlic. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, sour cream and season with salt and pepper.

SOUR CREAM & ONION CAULIFLOWER MASH

Steps:

• 1. Wash Cauliflower, and trim excess leaves. Using a large pot or sauce pan, add the full head of cauliflower to sauce pan. Add about 2 inches of water, turn on heat, and allow water to come to a boil, cover. Cook cauliflower until it is tender all the way through. I tested mine with the sharp tip of a knife by sticking into cauliflower and when it releases easily it is done. IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 15 MINUTES. These are the other main ingredients.
• 2. Then carefully drain the hot water from the hot pot, and add the cauliflower back into the hot pot. COVER WITH LID and allow to sit at least 8-10 minutes to release remaining water that is in the cauliflower. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP, OR YOUR VEGETABLE WILL BE MORE LIKE SOUP THAN MASHED POTATOES. This is the book where I found the original recipe.
• 3. I chose to use a potato masher to mash the cauliflower. Add the butter while the vegetable is hot, and mash. I chose to combine the remaining ingredients in a seperate medium size bowl, minced garlic, sour cream, parmesan cheese, onion flakes, chive, mustard, & onion. Blend together with a large fork.
• 4. Then add to the mashed cauliflower, and mix together throughly, until well incorporated into vegetable, and it has the consistency of mashed potatoes. You are not going to believe how tasty this delicious vegetable is.

MASHED CAULIFLOWER WITH SOUR CREAM

Steps:

• Place cauliflower in a large pot and cover with lightly salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until it falls apart when pressed with a fork, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain.
• Pour cauliflower into a bowl with ranch dressing, sour cream, and margarine. Beat with an electric mixer until desired consistency is achieved.
• Top with Cheddar cheese and bacon bits.

LOADED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and steam until very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer cauliflower to a bowl, mash, and strain excess water.
• Mix cauliflower, sour cream, Cheddar cheese, ranch dressing mix, onion powder, and garlic powder together in a 9-inch baking dish; top with butter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, 30 to 45 minutes.

MASHED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine the cauliflower, milk, garlic, thyme and 1 teaspoon salt; heat over medium-high. When the mixture begins to bubble around the edges (you don't want it to come to a full boil), reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is very tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Place a colander over a bowl, then drain the cauliflower, catching the milk in the bowl. Discard the thyme sprigs. Return the cauliflower and garlic to the pot. Mash the cauliflower using a potato masher, or use an immersion blender to purée until smooth. Add the reserved milk 1 tablespoon at a time, mashing or blending in between, until the cauliflower reaches desired consistency. (You'll use about about 1/4 cup of milk.)
• Stir in the sour cream, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with additional thyme leaves.
