The A to Z Challenge April 2013
Surprise! Surprise! The surprise was on me. I actually had cauliflower growing and maturing into nice heads last fall/winter season in NE Florida. They ended up in the freezer for later use.
I am inspired to share with you a recipe for a Cauliflower Mash-up that I snagged from the Children's Page in last Sunday's Washington Post. It's a Rookie Cookie creation. He is boiling/simmering a head of cauliflower, cut up into florets, in 1 and 1/2 cup of chicken broth. Have you tried doing that? I usually boil a full head of cauliflower in water because that way it looks most attractive on a serving platter surrounded by colorful vegetables.
OK. So the cauliflower is cooked any way you want it. Now, let's mash it up! Remember, this is for kids to do under an adult's supervision. Add 2 tbs butter or margarine, 1/3 cup of sour cream (light), and 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese. Beat with a hand mixer until the consistency of mashed potatoes. It may be slightly chunky, Rookie Cookie cautions. I know mine will.
I am wondering if I could use the same kind of grated parmesan that is used on spaghetti. You know, parmesan from a can. What ever, the recipe reads well.
Thank you for visiting my humble blog. Thanks to Hilary, the word verification (WV) is off. It should make it easier for you to leave a comment.

Hi Margareta .. that sounds a very good idea - it presumably could be crunched up with a crispy bottom and crackly top - sounds very good to me - cauliflower cheese is one of my favourites.
