Dishes with cauliflower - 117 cooking recipes

Gardeners know: the plant will definitely bloom, the task is to prevent this phase, prevent flowering and pick the fruit in time, otherwise it will be inedible. Essentially, we eat unopened inflorescences. And thanks to the efforts of breeders, the heads are not only white, but also orange, green, and purple. What a bright salad it would be. Cauliflower is also used to prepare soups, casseroles, vegetable stews, canned for the winter, and frozen. Heat treatment time is minimal: two to three minutes in boiling water, until the crust is browned in the oven, added to the dishes being prepared last. An interesting discovery for gourmets: green leaves can also be eaten. Out of habit, many housewives throw away the tops. And in vain, it’s delicious too. The cooking method is the same as for cauliflower recipes: you can fry in batter, boil, stew, bake, or use instead of greens. Cauliflower is also good because it is impossible to over-salt it. Even if you pour half a pack of salt into a pan of boiling water, the head will absorb the optimal portion. But we must take into account: the caloric content of a boiled head of cabbage increases six times - from 30 Kcal to 180 per 100 grams.
