RECIPES FOR A CAULIFLOWER GLUT

A glut of cauliflower hit UK supermarkets earlier this spring and everyone was looking for unusual but delicious ways of cooking it

Cauliflower is a brassica like broccoli or cabbage but milder in flavour.  Like all veg, it's good for you.  What won't be good is overcooking it -- it could end top soggy and it won't smell nice. At all. 

67 loves cauliflower, lightly streamed till al dente (with a bit of a bite in the middle) and served simply with lemon juice, pepper & salt.

But it's also great dressed up in various disguises: Asian or Italian or Indian or even good old English doused in a creamy cheese sauce.  67 is not a fan of ersatz uses of cauliflower (cauli rice or pizza bases, no thanks!).

These two recently posted recipes, however, do bear repeating.  They're wonderful!

Stir-fried cauliflower with mange tout, bell peppers & pork or chicken is a delicious melange of crisp and soft veg with tender, juicy meat.  It takes only minutes to prepare.  And it's great for slimmers - filling, low carb and low-fat.

This cauliflower dish is unusual in that it has a tomato sauce, not a cream one.  But my goodness it is delicious.  And if there are kidults in the household who've taken against veg, the Cauliflower & Tomato Casserole even tastes like pasta.
