Cauliflower? Recipe please

Spicy Cauliflower soup. Seems a shame if it's a prime example of cauliflowerhood though.

Brill, thanks all... I was looking for a cauliflower thread but got swamped in other threads that came up when I searched

I just did a Title Search, whcih gave far fewer threads

Glad you like some of the suggestions I'll add this to the main cauliflower thread to keep recipes suggestions together.

here are one are two more suggestions. I can recommend cauliflower curry if you are looking for something a bit different to cauliflower cheese.

I love cauliflower cheese but always found colly as a veg a bit much (too cauliflowery ) even with white sauce. Then I found Creamed Cauliflower.

Cook colly in lightly salted boiling water until tender. Drain well. Meanwhile make a white sauce with 1 oz butter, 1 oz flour, 1/2 pt. milk. Season to taste with salt, pepper, grated nutmeg. Mash cauliflower in saucepan, pour in white sauce and beat till fairly smooth. Put in veg. dish & grate a little more nutmeg on top.

This makes a nice side dish when curried or spicy cauliflower just won't work with the rest of the meal.

Hi,

I'm going away today for a 3 day excersise with the TA,In the fridge I have/had three quarters of a head of cauliflower.Now not wanting to waste it I cut it up & bunged it in a pan to blance before I could freeze it.

Moron here then forget about it,only just remembering about it!:mad:
Just went to look at it & half of it's soft as a soft thing & the rest is tender.

So,is it still ok to freeze it or would I be better binning it?

I feel such a pr-at!!!

I'm never one to bin food without a fight It'll proably not be fit to eat as is, but I'd freeze it. I'd then sorten some onions, add the cauli and some milk. Blitz to a soup, and serve with lunps of Stilton melted into it - yummy :T

I make cauliflower into a "mash" for my MIL who can't eat potatoes, with overboiled cauli and cream cheese, it's delicious, why not freeze it, and do that with it when you come back?

Or you could also cook up a basic veg stock with leek celery and a carrot, and puree it altogether into a soup?

Thanks,freezing for soup it is then.
Thanks for the suggestion Penelope,one small problem I cant eat any blue cheese as I'm allergic to penacillin & the blue mould in blue cheese makes me very,very ill...
