I also have a recipe from my Romanian grandma that goes something like this:
Cut cauli into florets
Dip each floret into seasoned whisked egg
roll in breadcrumbs
layer in sprayed roasting dish
top with a little nutmeg, and shredded mozz
Roast at 375 till golden
serve with sour cream.
It's really really good.
When I read OP's post, I immediately thought of a story about my sister when she was little...
while eating at a buffet with my mom, my sister kept filling her plate with fried cauliflower. When my mom asked her how she liked it, my sister said that they were the best chicken nuggets she had ever eaten!
This recipe sounds delish & makes me wish that I were not feeling so strict about watching my carbs :-(.
Grated veggies added into spaghetti sauce works in our family. So does making ridiculous "mm-mmmmm" noises while eating my veggies. I hate broccoli, but I could win an academy award for the performance I put on while eating it in front of my kids. I vote for cauliflower rice, as it give me a base for my husband's curries, which are phenomenol.0 -
My sister boils it along with potatoes and turns it into mashed cauliflower/potatoes. She also chops in celery for some crunch. Adding pepper and chicken bouillon adds flavour and 2% milk makes it a bit creamier. It's called "Smashed Celery Spuds" from Company's Coming Cookbooks. You could see if they have the recipe online or just mess with it yourself0

roasted or in a stir fry.
that's how I eat mine. little butter- S/P and maybe some garlic when roasted- love it.0 -
Plain cauliflower can get quite boring indeed. Add some flavouring, i always make it with béchamel sauce. Just melt a teaspoon (or maybe two) of butter and add flour until it's crumbly. Then add 500ml milk (2 cups i believe) little by little untill you get a nice creamy sauce and add pepper and salt if you want. You can make cheese sauce with it, just add grated cheese of your choiche0

"According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Nutrient Data Laboratory, 1 cup of raw or cooked cauliflower contains about 5 grams of carbohydrates. Cauliflower is rich in fiber, which is a type of carbohydrate. Of the 5 grams of carbs present in 1 cup of cauliflower, 2 of those grams of carbs are from fiber. This is good news when it comes to maintaining a healthy body weight and controlling your blood cholesterol levels."
You can swap the traditional breadcrumbs for the Panko ones.

Honestly, the way my mother makes it is my favorite. She steams it just until it is crisp tender then she puts it in a buttered casserole dish and sprinkles it with grated sharp cheddar cheese and then sprinkles homemade breadcrumbs, that have been tossed in melted butter, on top before baking for 20 minutes. It is deeeelish!
oooooo !!!
would panko would in place of breadcrumbs??0
