Mashed Cauliflower
The texture and mild flavor of this cousin to the common cabbage gets a tasty makeover with the addition of garlic and the creamy sour cream or Unsweetened Whole Milk Yogurt. Our Unsweetened Whole Milk Yogurt makes the perfect swap for sour cream in cooking and baking.

Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower, broken into florets (1 pound)
- 3 cloves garlic
- ¼ cup AE Sour Cream or Unsweetened Whole Milk Yogurt
- 1–3 tablespoons AE Milk
- Salt, cayenne pepper, and ground nutmeg
- Chives (optional)
Directions
Bring 1 inch of salted water to a boil in a large pot. Add the cauliflower and garlic, cover the pot, and reduce heat to medium. Cook until very tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain the cauliflower and garlic and transfer to a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Add the sour cream or unsweetened whole milk yogurt and process until smooth, thinning the consistency with milk if desired. Season with salt, cayenne, and nutmeg, and garnish with chives.
(Alternatively, after draining mash the cauliflower and garlic in the cooking pot with a hand-held potato masher or electric mixer, then add the sour cream or unsweetened yogurt, milk, and seasonings. This results in a chunkier texture.)
Makes four ½-cup servings
