Sour Cream and Spring Onion Cauliflower Mash

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.

Method

1. Add the cauliflower to a large saucepan and half cover with stock.
