Cauliflower? Recipe please

brazilianwax

Grate it (very messy but worth it) and cook gently in a frying pan with butter (and spices like cumin and coriander if you like) and use in place of rice.

Completely genius

Or, mash (as the suggestion above) and add snipped up spring onions, soured cream and lots of grated cheese. Bake in the oven until golden and bubbling. Low carb cheese pie


Or broccoli and cauliflower soup (just had it for dinner). Saute a leek or 2 until soft, add broccoli and cauliflower florets, simmer with some veggie stock and lots of black pepper until the veg is soft. Blend and add a couple of handfuls of grated cheese. Divine :drool:

I'm sure you didn't work there when I went. I was 17 and I'm coming up for 45 this year!

So many brilliant ideas! I knew people on here would come up trumps. The cauli is so big I can probably use it for more than one of these recipes.

Some ideas:

Cauliflower bake - Cauliflower covered in cheese sauce and topped with breadcrumbs and cheese and baked - I produce a few of these and freeze in 2 person portions for me and OH. I use as a side dish.
Veg Pakoras - Cauliflower chopped finely and added to grated carrot, a few frozen peas and finely shredded onion/leeks. Mix a few spoonfuls of self-raising flour (or gram flour if you have it), half teaspoon of cumin and coriander and quarter teaspoon chilli, add water and pinch of salt to make a batter and then add the veg. Mix well and place a spoonful into hot fat and shallow fry until golden brown. Serve with mango chutney.

There are some great ideas on this thread so I've added it to the original cauliflower thread to keep all the suggestions together.

Do you have any meal ideas other than cauliflower cheese?:p

I've added your post to an older thread asking the same thing to keep the answers together.

I had one cauli in my fridge already. But OH came home tonight with another two HUGE caulis :eek:

He works in a food place, and in the canteen area were two big baskets filled with caulis, with a sign saying 'staff - help yourselves', as they're looking a bit worse for wear (green leaves wilted etc).

Soooo.. i have no idea what i'm going to do with them all! Chooks will be getting all the greenery, but aside from the cauliflower cheese i was planning to do with the first cauli, what else can i make with the other two? OH and the kids don't like cauliflower cheese, so can't make 3x the amount.

Looking forward to answers

Is it the cheese bit that they don't like...? Or the cauliflower?!

I love cauliflower in curries. I would probably put it with spinach and chickpeas...yummy!

If you are trying to disguise the cauliflower, you could always mash it into potatoes to top cottage pie (get a hidden one of their 5 a day into them!), or I think it can be put into soups as well - I don't personally have a recipe for a soup with cauliflower, but I'm sure somebody here will have a tried and tested successful recipe!

cauliflower soup is delicious and I believe it freezes well too. I have a nice simple recipe somewhere that I think is called parisian califlower soup - if you want me to find it and ost it here pm me and I will!
