If you haven’t tried cauliflower mash then you really should, it tastes amazing, inf act you won’t even realize it is cauliflower. For the sour cream, I use Greek yoghurt which I sour with some juice of a lemon, this keeps the dish syn free, but if you want to syn some real sour cream, then of course go ahead. This also can make a great topping for shepherds or cottage pie, I suggest adding a couple of raw eggs to the mixture if you use it for this, it will firm it up slightly above the meat filling.
This recipe is Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Paleo, Slimming World and Weight Watchers friendly

Hello Siobhan
First, thank you, thank you. I am an avid user of your recipies and love all of them. Again, thank you.
Quick question, in your Sour Cream and Spring Onion Cauliflower Mash - you reference Greek yogurt in the preamble, but in the recipe itself you mention quark - which is better to use. Let me know
