While flipping through numerous foody fall mags, I began to see many recipes for Cauliflower Au Gratin. Now, potatoes au gratin have been a family treat for many years but to au gratin cauliflower seemed both new and exciting... and serendiptously I had just purchased a large head of cauliflower from a kindly young farmer at the market. So, I perused my recipes and came up with this... a tasty, warm fall treat!
Cauliflower Au Gratin
Saute a head of cauliflower in olive oil for 5 minutes.
Remove cauliflower from pan and lay in a rectangular baking dish.
Add a few cloves of garlic and chopped medium onion and saute for 5 min.
Add 1 cup of broth. Boil for 5 minutes.
Add 2 cups of cream or milk or a combo. Simmer 5 min.
Pour mixture over cauliflower.
Top with seasoned breadcrumbs (about 1 1/2 cups)
*I used old stale homemade bread whirled in the food processor with some herbs and trust me this made magic happen
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and of course.. Parmesean cheese!
Bake for 20 minutes and 350 covered with aluminum foil.
Let stand for 20 more minutes.
I served this with a sausage/apple/kale (aka sapplkalage) stirfry. It also would be great with chicken and probably get along great with a ham!! (don't forget to save your hambone for soup).
or you could just eat this by itself because YES it is that good!
