Ingredients

  • 1 ½ large heads cauliflower florets only
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 cloves garlic peeled and smashed
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon fresh ground pepper or to taste

Instructions

  • Set the electric pressure cooker to “saute.” When hot, add the olive oil and garlic. Cook the garlic until browned on both sides. Add the water. Cancel the saute mode.
  • Place the cauliflower florets in a steamer basket. Lower the steamer basket into the electric pressure cooker.
  • Cover and seal the electric pressure cooker. Set on “manual” or “pressure cook” for 3 minutes. Allow the pressure cooker to naturally release the steam for 10 minutes before a quick release of the remaining pressure.
  • Transfer the cauliflower to a large bowl or food processor and all the remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth.
