Cauliflower

[Baldieheid]

I'm not a big fan of cauliflower but bought one anyway, just to see what I could do with it. My mum used it 2 ways - attached and served plain, or in a soup with brocolli.

What do you do with a cauliflower?

Cauliflower cheese with mushrooms, leeks and bacon

Roasted with garlic butter or roasted and then covered with satay sauce 😀

Cook it, then mix 50/50 with potato and mash. Gives the potato a lovely flavour. Goes really well if you put some bacon or black pudding on top.

Obviously cauliflower cheese.

Roasted is lovely with some curry powder sprinkled

Cauliflower and cheese soup.

“Rice” and instead of potato mash, but my favourite is to melt some butter, add a garlic clove (or two), add a tsp or so each of cayenne, paprika & sea salt, smother the florets with this and roast for about 25 mins and serve with blue cheese sauce.

It's lovely roasted with some spices, like a curried flavour.

Cauliflower cheese would be my default. I struggle to make it without going all watery personally though.

I really disliked cauliflower until I discovered you could roast it. Now it's one of my faves.

Cauliflower rice? Or in a curry

I cook it in my air fryer, spray with olive oil spray, salt, pepper & roasted minced garlic granules.

Echo what everyone else is saying about roasting it. I did it whole on Sunday with butter, olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika and coriander. Was delish.

I've also had cauliflower "wings" in a restaurant which are like chicken wings with a kind of spicy/sticky marinade/coating on. But you'd have to Google a recipe for that. It's my favourite vegetable currently but I'd never have it boiled and plain.

It's one of those things I can eat every day. Raw with a blue cheese dip, curried, roasted, cauli cheese, steamed with a sprinkle of garlic salt and Parmesan, half and half with potato for mash.
It's such a sweet fresh flavour and goes with all herb and spice combinations.
Cauli falafels are delicious and slightly more moist than the plain chickpea ones: all kinds of bhaji, pakora etc are delicious with cauliflower.

Curry! With carrots, peas, potato, whatever you want. Also tandoori cauliflower, yum.

You pair it with its cousin broccoli, and make an enormous cauliflower and broccoli cheese drools

We are massive cauliflower fans here.

If your kids like macaroni cheese, Jamie Oliver does a lovely cauloflower macaroni cheese with a crumbly bacony top. It's in his 30 minutes book.

Cauliflower cheese. Obv.

Bang bang cauliflower.

Califlower curry

Anyway it comes to be honest

The only way to make cauliflower taste good is to completely cover it in cheese and cream, or roast it with enough maple syrup that you can't taste the cauliflower anymore.

Either way, not healthy so I don't eat it much! 😂

I was wondering what she attached it to.
I really was !! 😂

I like it several ways, other than the usual ones...
a) as rice,
b) broken into florets, sprinkled with salt, pepper, paprika, turmeric, dried garlic or whatever spices you fancy and then roasted in the oven for about 25 mins at 180°C
C) whole roasted and covered with a white wine garlic sauce
D) as popcorn cauliflower so broken into florets, dipped in egg, then breadcrumbs sprayed with oil and roasted til golden.

I do cauliflower and macaroni cheese combined as a main dish because it is lighter and fresher than straight mac n cheese.

Roast cauli - rinse and quarter it. Pat dry. Mix some spices with veg oil and salt then toss thecauli quarters in the mix and roast for half an hour.

I also like it steamed and then mixed with a big pasta like rigatoni, in sun dried tomatoes and their oil, fried garlic and chilli with toasted pine nuts.

Also a potato and cauliflower curry

My favourite food in the world! Apart from the obvious, I love it roasted, made into soup (best recipe is by Cookie and Kate) mashed and cauliflower rice is lovely.

Wow. Lots of brilliant sounding suggestions here, thank you all.

I make a lovely pasta dish with cauliflower. Roast cherry tomatoes in the oven. Par boil the cauliflower florets for a few minutes then add to the tomatoes. Cook tagliatelle in the same water then stir into the vegetables with grated cheese, some pasta water and some crispy bacon.

When my kids were little, I used to make cauliflower popcorn - small florets coated in oil, paprika and breadcrumbs and roasted in the oven. Really tasty
