Cauliflower mash with sour cream and butter

Cauliflower mash with sour cream and butter is a delicious and creamy alternative to traditional mashed potatoes. This recipe is perfect for those looking to enjoy a low-carb, gluten-free, and keto-friendly dish without compromising on flavor. With the rich combination of heavy cream, sour cream, and butter, this cauliflower mash is sure to become a new favorite.

Ingredients:

8 cups cauliflower
860g
2 tbsp sour cream
24g
2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
30g
1.50 tbsp butter
22g
1 tsp salt
6g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cauliflower:
- Begin by washing and chopping the cauliflower into florets.
2. Cook the Cauliflower:
- Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil.
- Add the cauliflower florets to the boiling water and cook for about 10-12 minutes or until they become tender. You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork.
3. Drain the Cauliflower:
- Once the cauliflower is tender, drain it thoroughly in a colander, shaking off any excess water.
4. Blend the Ingredients:
- Transfer the drained cauliflower to a food processor. Add 2 tablespoons of sour cream, 2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream, 1.5 tablespoons of butter, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
5. Puree the Mixture:
- Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a chunkier texture, pulse the mixture until you reach your desired consistency.
6. Final Adjustments:
- Taste the mash, and add more salt if needed. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, you can add a little extra heavy whipping cream to achieve the desired consistency.
7. Serve:
- Transfer the cauliflower mash to a serving bowl. You can add a small pat of butter on top for garnish, or sprinkle some fresh herbs like chives or parsley for extra flavor.
8. Enjoy!
- Serve your cauliflower mash alongside your favorite main dishes. It pairs wonderfully with roasted meats, grilled fish, or as a standalone vegetarian option.

Tips:

- Ensure the cauliflower is cooked until tender to achieve a smooth consistency.

- For a fluffier mash, whip the mixture with a hand mixer instead of mashing by hand.

- Experiment with additional seasonings like garlic, pepper, or chives to enhance the flavor.

- Use a high-speed blender or food processor to achieve a very smooth texture.

- If the mash is too watery, you can cook it on the stovetop for a few minutes to evaporate some of the moisture.

Cauliflower mash with sour cream and butter is a wonderful, nutritious alternative to mashed potatoes that retains a rich and comforting flavor. This recipe is simple to make and offers various customization options to suit your taste preferences. Whether served as a side dish for a holiday meal or a weeknight dinner, this cauliflower mash is sure to impress.
