Freezing Cauliflower

I have a cauliflower in my veg box that probably won't get eaten this week...is there any way I can freeze it? perhaps a 'side dish' type of thing that I could cook today and freeze?
I am really trying to avoid waste....Many thanks for any ideas

Cauliflower cheese freezes fine. But if you just break it into florets, and blanch it for a couple and minutes, you can freeze it like that to use another day.I Believe in saving money!!!:T

My mil swears by soaking it in salted water (mmmm healthy, but then she fries in lards till, bless 'er) and freezing it.
I've never tried it as I hate cauliflower (I used to work in an old peoples home and they had it a LOT there, or seemed like it from the smell). Sorry - hope I haven't put you off!!0 -
Good idea SB - have tried freezing just plain cooked cauliflower before, and it has come out ever so watery!Is it payday yet?:rolleyes:

Break it into florets, blanch for about a minute and then freeze. It's less watery than if it's cooked all the way - and will be fine for a cauliflower cheese on the day you thaw it.
If you wanted to be *really* OS, you could make a couple of jars of [STRIKE]picalilli[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]piccalilli[/STRIKE] pica... however it's spelt!I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

Hi Anniewoo,
When you reply to a post, at the top of the box you type in there are some icon thingies. The one on the extreme right is a button which looks like this
[STRIKE]S[/STRIKE]
Select (by highlighting with your mouse) your text and then click that button. It puts the html tags STRIKE and /STRIKE either side of the text you've highlighted. It looks funny in the box as you type, but once you submit the message, the html starts to work.I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

Thanks for the replies, as I don't have much time to spare, I think I will do the blanching and freezing - can anyone just confirm, is blanching putting the veg in already boiling water?Jun GC £250.00/£12.40 NSD 3 / 30
