I always see recipes using sour cream and although I’ve made my cauliflower mash like regular mash before. I needed to see what the hype was about the sour cream. Wow, it makes a huge difference to the dish. It adds a tangy flavor to the cauliflower making it all the more irresistible.
To enhance the flavor of the cauliflower I steamed it for a short while until half-cooked. I then drizzled a little olive oil over and baked it further in the oven together with the garlic. This gave the Creamy Mashed Cauliflower a little nuttiness. I added a little butter, Parmesan and some fresh thyme. Only because I love thyme that much and I could use it in absolutely any dish, given the chance.
The cauliflower turned out really creamy and smooth in the food processor. I prefer a creamy mash but if you can keep it more chunky if you prefer. You don’t want too much liquid in the cauliflower, so after I steamed it I placed it in a colander to drain the excess water, before popping it into the oven.
