SOUR CREAM & ONION CAULIFLOWER MASH

Steps:

• 1. Wash Cauliflower, and trim excess leaves. Using a large pot or sauce pan, add the full head of cauliflower to sauce pan. Add about 2 inches of water, turn on heat, and allow water to come to a boil, cover. Cook cauliflower until it is tender all the way through. I tested mine with the sharp tip of a knife by sticking into cauliflower and when it releases easily it is done. IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 15 MINUTES. These are the other main ingredients.
• 2. Then carefully drain the hot water from the hot pot, and add the cauliflower back into the hot pot. COVER WITH LID and allow to sit at least 8-10 minutes to release remaining water that is in the cauliflower. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP, OR YOUR VEGETABLE WILL BE MORE LIKE SOUP THAN MASHED POTATOES. This is the book where I found the original recipe.
• 3. I chose to use a potato masher to mash the cauliflower. Add the butter while the vegetable is hot, and mash. I chose to combine the remaining ingredients in a seperate medium size bowl, minced garlic, sour cream, parmesan cheese, onion flakes, chive, mustard, & onion. Blend together with a large fork.
• 4. Then add to the mashed cauliflower, and mix together throughly, until well incorporated into vegetable, and it has the consistency of mashed potatoes. You are not going to believe how tasty this delicious vegetable is.
