Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (240 ml) chicken broth
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) dried minced garlic
  • 6 cups (1440 ml) cauliflower florets, from about 1 large head
  • 4 tbsp (57 g / 2.01 oz) butter, softened
  • ½ cup (120 g / 4.2 oz) full-fat sour cream
  • ½ tsp salt, or to taste
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper, or to taste
  • 3 tbsp (45 ml) minced fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish
  • For a thicker, less watery mash, drain off most of the cooking liquid before blending the cauliflower.
  • Elevate the flavor by adding 4 ounces of softened cream cheese or ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese along with the butter and sour cream.
  • For an even richer taste, roast a head of garlic and mash the cloves into the cauliflower instead of using dried garlic.
  • Swap the chicken broth for vegetable broth to easily make this recipe vegetarian.

Method
 

  1. Combine the chicken broth and dried garlic in the basin of a medium slow cooker.
  2. Add the cauliflower florets, cover, and cook on Low for 4-5 hours or on High for 2-3 hours, until the cauliflower is very tender.
  3. Carefully transfer the cauliflower and any remaining cooking liquid to a large mixing bowl. Use an immersion blender or a hand mixer to blend until smooth and creamy.
  4. Stir in the softened butter, sour cream, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  5. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
