Cauliflower With Sour Cream Carrot Sauce
I don’t know about you but I could eat cauliflower no matter the cooking method boiled/steamed/grilled…you name it! I tend to eat it as is and forget all about sauces that’s how much I like it. Still there’s no need to worry because today’s recipe is not going to be about plain cauliflower but more about a creamy proposition 
.
Ingredients
- ½ medium-small cauliflower
- ½ green kohlrabi
- 2 Tbsp low fat sour cream
- 2 medium carrots
- 2 tsp dried green onion
- ½ tsp caraway seeds - coarsely ground
- 2/3 tsp freshly grated ginger
- 1 Tbsp of finely chopped fresh dill
- a few dill sprigs
- 5 Tbsp Feta – grated
- 2 Tbsp organic carrot juice
- Salt – to taste
Directions
Add some salted water to a small saucepan and bring the water to a boil. Trim and peel the kohlrabi, then cut it into sticks. Add the sticks to the boiling water and cook, partially covered, for 10 minutes. Drain.
To make the carrot purée, take a second saucepan, add salted water and bring to a boil. Wash and peel the carrots, cut them into 8 cm segments, then toss them in the boiling water. Return to boil and cook, partially covered, for 12 minutes. Drain then mash them with a fork to obtain a purée.
Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower, wash then cut into small florets. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add some salt, toss in the cauliflower florets, return to boil and cook for 5-6 minutes (cooking time will depend on the size of the florets). Drain well and set aside to cool for a couple of minutes.
To make the sauce simply mix together 3Tbsp of the carrot purée with the sour cream, grated ginger, 3 Tbsp of grated Feta, caraway seeds, dried green onion, chopped dill and carrot juice. Taste and season with salt if necessary (I didn’t even need to add more salt because my Feta was quite salty).
Plate the cauliflower florets and kohlrabi sticks then spoon the sauce over them. Sprinkle with the remaining Feta and garnish with dill sprigs.
Bon appétit!

i love veggies but he doesnt LOL!! great photos as usual!
I can envision the califlower whirling around in its poofy white skirt! Great recipe and even better visual imagery!
My favorite way to eat cauliflower is raw…dunked in hummus. Your recipe looks very interesting with many ingredients I would not have thought of…but will now!
carrot puree in sauce, you are so clever Lore!
Mmmm - I love cauliflower, and am quite excited by all the autumny recipes popping up at the moment!
Love your fluffy dress shot!
Very creative…using carrot puree in sauce would have never occurred to me…looks yummy
Ever see that Seinfeld when Jerry tells Newman “Newman you wouldn’t eat broccoli if it was deep fried in chocolate sauce.”
I know this is cauliflower, but it reminded me of that
Creamy = flavor for sure
Lore,
Some people think that this beautiful floret is bland. I totally disagree, like you, I can eat this raw or cook. I like the addition of sour cream for your recipe. I really like the first photo on this post. Cheers.
cauliflower is such an underrated veggie, it’s tragic. i can’t wait for it to come into season here. i usually just roast it at high heat with some onions, but maybe this will motivate me to dress it up a little more.
ok, probably not. but it looks beautiful!
I also love cauliflower but my children think that I am Cruella da Ville whenever I attempt to cook it. Last week I made cauliflower au gratin and I was the only one in the family to eat it :0)
Oh yeah i love creamy cauliflower.
This looks super delicious.
Never done this way with kolabari.
I make them withcheese sauce topped with more cheese when i put it in the oven.
Bad luck is only i like cailiflower, both hubby and daughter hate it.
nice recipe,..nd lovely clicks,..;-)
Oooh… I love the look of that creamy sour cream carrot sauce!
Admittedly, cauliflower is perfectly fine, even unadorned. But, this is fun! And I LOVE the fluffy dress look photo!

Hey Lore, I have an award and a meme for you.
It was a recipe similar to this one that finally got my sister and husband eating cauliflower. Creaminess does wonders!
I like the cauliflower’s skirt. It’s cute. I have the same one in purple.
I love cauliflower! This looks like a wonderful dish to enjoy over the autumn.
I love the idea of carrot puree. This dish looks so yummy and healthy.
What an lovely combo Lore,the pictures are awesome.
My father and I are cauliflower junkies so i can totally relate to your taste for it. I think cauliflower is the most underrated vegetable in the pantry…
