I used sour cream and butter and garlic, salt and pepper.. pureed I'm the blender and added a bit of shredded cheddar.. Delish!! -
This is so easy and delicious. Cauliflower and nutmeg are made for each other! I tried mashing by hand but ended up using the food processor. Thanks, Leggy Peggy! Made for Aussie Kiwi Recipe Swap #74, Group 6. -
Pretty good. -
Meh! I didn't think this was great. It was super easy to make but I didn't really care for the taste. Maybe I was expecting too much after reading all the glowing reviews. Since it's cauliflower, not potatoes, it didn't have that sticky feel to it even after I added the Parmesan cheese. It was a bit runny and I didn't think it tasted good. It wasn't terrible either but I don't think I'll make this again.

One of the best mashed cauliflower recipes I've tried. I used the food processor. Also, I used half white and half purple cauliflower to make a lavender puree, but the camera didn't pick up the color very well. Made for ZWT6.

Made this twice now and really enjoyed it. We both love cauliflower and made this recipe as a substitute for mashed potatoes. Our personal preference was to go light on the nutmeg and to use cream instead of milk. We easily doubled this recipe in order to make a large head. We will definitely be keeping this one. Thanks, Peggy.
