Recently I have been looking for ways to use frozen vegetables. While I prefer fresh 99% of the time, it isn't always available and frozen is often cheaper which always helps! I know some people say that mashed cauliflower tastes like mashed potatoes, I think those people are in denial, it doesn't taste like mashed potatoes, it takes like mashed cauliflower! The beautiful thing for me is that I like the taste of mashed cauliflower and decided to expand on the typical milk and butter that I usually mash it with and I am glad I did. This is a very tasty side dish and will make your family happy to not have just plain old steamed cauliflower on their plates.
Creamy Mashed Cauliflower: Serves 2-4
1lbs Bag Frozen Cauliflower
1/4C Light Sour Cream (I use Daisy's Brand)
1TB Butter
Salt & Pepper
Cook the cauliflower either in a steam basket over boiling water or place in a sauce pot with approximately 1" of water and cook until the cauliflower can easily be pierced with a fork. Once completely cooked drain and place in a mixing bowl and add the butter and sour cream with salt and pepper and either with a mixer or a potato masher break up the cauliflower and mix everything together. The butter will melt into the cauliflower and the sour cream adds something special. I promise your family will be asking for this again and again.
