Ingredients
1 large head Fresh Cauliflower
3 tablespoons Grass-fed Butter
2–3 cloves Garlic Cloves, minced
2 tablespoons Full-fat Sour Cream
Sea Salt, to taste
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper, freshly cracked
2 tablespoons Fresh Chives, finely chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Cauliflower: Wash the cauliflower thoroughly, remove green leaves, cut away the core, and break into small florets
- Steam the Florets: In a pot with a steamer basket and an inch of water, bring to a boil, add the cauliflower, cover, and steam for 10-12 minutes until very tender
- Drain and Dry: Remove the cauliflower and let it sit in a colander; pat dry with a kitchen towel
- Blend the Base: Transfer steamed cauliflower to a food processor or blender, add butter, garlic, and sour cream
- Process Until Smooth: Blend on high until desired consistency is achieved
- Season to Perfection: Add sea salt and black pepper; taste and adjust seasoning
- Garnish and Serve: Transfer the mash to a serving bowl, top with chives, and serve immediately
Notes
To prevent a watery texture, ensure to dry the cauliflower well after steaming.
Use an immersion blender for easy cleanup if you don't want to wash a food processor.
Try roasting the cauliflower before blending for a deeper flavor.
