Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 50 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake cauliflower with meat in the oven? Prepare the products according to the list. Choose meat without bones and veins, tenderloin, as juicy and soft as possible. You can take not only pork, but also beef or lamb. Vegetable oil - any refined one. Cheese can also be any hard or semi-hard cheese, but one that melts well. Wash and dry the vegetables. Clean the meat from all excess, wash and dry.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the pork into small cubes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, fry the pieces of meat for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Thanks to this frying, the meat pieces inside will remain juicy.

4. STEP 4

   

   Salt the meat, add basil, stir.

5. STEP 5

   

   Reduce heat, cover the pan with a lid and simmer the meat for another 15-25 minutes. Determine the exact time based on your stove. You can add any spices and aromatic herbs to your taste.

6. STEP 6

   

   Peel the carrots, rinse, grate on a coarse grater.

7. STEP 7

   

   Peel the onions, wash them, cut them into small cubes. You can cut into strips if desired.

8. STEP 8

   

   Fry the vegetables in a frying pan with vegetable oil until soft. Don't forget to stir so that the vegetables don't burn and cook evenly.

9. STEP 9

   

   Separate the cauliflower into florets, cutting off any too thick parts with a knife. It is better to cut large inflorescences too, and leave small ones whole.

10. STEP 10

    

    Cook cauliflower in boiling salted water until soft, 5-6 minutes. The main thing is not to overcook the cabbage so that the inflorescences retain their shape.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place the finished cabbage in a colander and let the water drain.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place evenly fried vegetables in a baking dish.

13. STEP 13

    

    Place fried meat on top of vegetables.

14. STEP 14

    

    Place boiled cauliflower on top of the meat.

15. STEP 15

    

    Grate the hard cheese on a coarse grater.

16. STEP 16

    

    Sprinkle the cabbage evenly with grated cheese.

17. STEP 17

    

    Bake cauliflower with meat in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is completely melted. Determine the exact baking time and temperature based on your oven. Serve the dish hot. Bon appetit!

Thanks for the healthy recipe. I also bake cauliflower, but I like to cook it with cream and cheese.

Today I decided to cook cauliflower with meat in the oven. I quickly cut the pork into small pieces, fried the onions and carrots, boiled the cauliflower, put the onions and carrots in a baking dish, and set the meat to fry for 15 minutes. I added basil and sweet red pepper and salt to the meat. Then I transferred the meat into a baking dish, placed cabbage and grated cheese on it and put it in the oven for 15 minutes. I usually miss the flavor in cauliflower. Today everything was perfect! Dinner turned out great. My husband finished two servings. The recipe is great!

Cauliflower with meat in the oven is tender and juicy, what more can I say! And there is no need to say anything about such recipes - they are already good, you just need to cook and eat, and then repeat and eat again. I made it with chicken and it's great! Thank you very much for the recipe!
