Delicious Whipped Cauliflower (Yes, really)

1 head of cauliflower cored and cut into large florets
1 tbs butter
4 tbs sour cream
2 oz cream cheese
2 cloves of garlic
salt and pepper to taste

1. Steam the cauliflower until fork tender.  Be sure not to over or under cook.  Boiling is not recommended due to loss of nutrients and the additional water could make the final product too runny.

2. In a tiny sauce pan add the butter and roughly chopped garlic cloves.  Cook until lightly browned and remove from heat.

3. Add half the cauliflower, along with the cream cheese, sour cream and butter garlic mixture to your food processor or blender.  Once blended add the second half of the cauliflower and blend until creamy smooth.  Add salt and pepper to taste.


And that's it!  It truly is scrumptious!  Not the same as potatoes but possibly even better.  Please give it a try!

Other options would be to include cheese, chives or even wasabi.
