    1. mash it with potatoes - great for veg-phobic kids (you don't really notice the cauli)

    2. make a cauli cheese

    3. add it to a stir fry

    4. make a soup with cauli, broccoli, blue cheese etc - yum!

    5. add to a stew

    6. batter and deep fry - NOT good for the waistline :rotfl:

    that was my first thought but alas i have no cheese.....or cheese sauce. think i might buy both tomorrow and whip up a semi homemade cheese sauce. yummy.

    battered and fried sounds totally lush but as you said totally deadly

    could i freeze it and then just reheat when needed?

    If you freeze cauli after it has cooked it goes quite soggy - so best used as an ingredient!


    Enjoy the cauli cheese.
