Cauliflower two ways (one might intrigue you)

 There is no magic in cauliflower. There is, however, nutrition, and, when properly prepared, flavor. I steamed a whole head of it and used half to make the puree below. It just has cream and salt and pepper added.




The other half (already steamed) served as the vehicle for a baked gratin. Some cheddar, some Velveeta, some grana padano. Oven at broil for about 10 minutes (the dish was about 8 inches below the heat source) Fortunately no one has to convince Peter and me to eat this stuff. If necessary, I am available to come to your house to twist arms..

I love cauliflower. I will have it any way, even just boiled plain. I know most people don't seem to like it but I don't know why.

thanks also for leaving that bit of encouragement and advice on my blog (:

When in doubt with a veggie, it always helps to hit it with cheese...and perhaps bacon!
