- 1 head cauliflower, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 3 tbsp. butter
- 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
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.
