    Cut it into florets, add a light batter, bake it then add a General Tso-type sauce for a version of General Tso's "chicken" (also use same florets with buffalo sauce, sesame sauce, BBQ, etc.. )

    Mix in egg, pepper and salt (to taste), and put it into a waffle maker. Takes about 10 minutes to cook and its delicious. May even use a little ranch dressing powder to flavor up a little.

    Oh this sounds so yummy :o

    It's kind of based on this TBH but I always adapt recipes and I thought it was nicer with half a pack of feta cheese ....I don't use ghee and found that if you spray a tin and pop it in the oven until cooked and top crispy it's delicious ...I add small chopped red onion raw to the mixture and stuff
    Haven't made it for ages TBH

    I made a delicious cauliflower soup by cooking a head of it in chicken stock until tender then pureeing until smooth and adding a can of condensed cheese soup. It was very low calorie and really good.

    I love mashed cauliflower, I just use some table blend spices and some laughing cow or cream cheese.

    Otherwise, just roasted. Cauliflower rice is fine too but it just doesn't do it as a rice supplement so it's just too much work when I could just steam some cauliflower.

    I second cauliflower tots though, they're delicious (same for zucchini tots).

    I make some buffalo cauliflower bites! Jenna Marbles (and her boyfriend Julien) made a video explaining how to make them :)

    My MIL just steams (I nuke it) it, and then melts butter until it is browned (that is the trick - has to be browned but not burnt) - and then pours it over the top. That taste is NOT like melted butter - it's some exotic kind of taste that is super yummy. And I'm not talking like a whole stick of butter. :)

    I do my Buffalo Cauliflower Bites in the oven, but definitely use Frank's wing sauce. I was surprised to discover other hot sauces can pack quite the calorie count.

    Tonight, I chopped up a head of cauliflower, added diced onion and zucchini, and made a "cheese" sauce by blending a can of drained cannellini beans, a mashed sweet potato, some garlic powder, a bit of Dijon mustard, nooch (about half of a cup), and some cashew milk to thin it out. Mixed it all together and am baking it - I can't wait to taste it!

    I love the versatility of cauliflower!

    http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/mock-garlic-mashed-potatoes-recipe.html I love this one. Really gotta squeeze the moisture out though or its watery. . I've also roasted it for this instead of boiled it came out even better.

    Why go to so much trouble to "make" something with it? Just eat it.

    I like buffalo cauliflower bites, raw cauliflower, and also roasting it with a vidalia onion, olive oil, garlic, salt, black pepper, and a little red pepper...

    @TonyB0588 Because sometimes we like foods prepared in different ways or mixed with other ingredients? Some of the recipes here look pretty great. If you only eat your cauliflower raw I'd say you're missing out!

    I toss the florets with minced garlic and olive oil then bake until golden brown. It's the only way I like cauliflower and it's delicious. I've tried some of the mock other foods made with cauliflower. :sick:

    ummm...cos that is the point of food .. no? I mean we 'make' something with every ingredient / food .. it's called cooking

    Cauliflower rice is super easy and a great low-cal substitute for rice/grains/pasta. Here's a recipe: http://minimalistbaker.com/how-to-make-cauliflower-rice/
