Mashed Cauliflower, Bacon and Spring Onion

If, as I discovered from my husband, you are thinking this will taste like mashed potato put the thought aside. This is cauliflower and it will taste like cauliflower. Unfortunately, if you don’t like cauliflower you won’t like it, if you do then you have something new to pour your gravy on!

Mashed Cauliflower, Bacon and Spring Onion

More than the basic cauliflower mash, add in some garlic, spring onion and bacon for something a bit more flavourful.
