Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 3 tbsp. butter tips & tricks
  • 2 tbsp. light sour cream
  • 1 tsp. fresh rosemary, chopped
  • garlic salt, to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste (I always use mixed peppercorns)
  • 1/2 tbsp. fresh chopped chives, for garnish tips & tricks

Directions

  • In a wide saucepan, add a steamer basket and fill it up with water about ¼-inch lower than the bottom of the basket. Set the heat to high and cover. When it boils, add cauliflower florets, cover and steam for 10 minutes or until tender.
  • Transfer the florets to a colander to drain any excess water; leave them there for 5 minutes.
  • In the bowl of a food processor with the blade attachment, add drained florets, butter, sour cream, rosemary, garlic salt and freshly ground black pepper. Process until the mixture is smooth and creamy, stopping a few times to scrape the sides of the bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Spoon in serving bowls or plates, sprinkle with fresh chives and serve immediately.
