REC: Baked Cauliflower

[jmcquown]

This is an old Betty Crocker recipe that is absolutely wonderful. First
you need to cut off the green outer leaves and trim the stalk. Wash the
head of cauliflower. Place it in a deep pot and par-boil it in an inch
of salted water, covered, for about 12 minutes. Drain well and let it
cool. Place the cauliflower in a deep casserole dish.

Meanwhile, combine dry breadcrumbs with melted butter seasoned with S&P,
ground red pepper and grated Parmesan cheese. Pat the crumb mixture all
over the cauliflower. Put it in the oven at 375°F and bake for about 15
minutes until the crumb mixture is lightly browned and the cauliflower
is very tender.

Growing up, only had cauliflower boiled and did not care for it.
Roasted is much better. I will give this a try in the next couple of
weeks.

I like boiled cauliflower only occasionally, and with at least 3-4 weeks
between exposures. It should not be over cooked. I can handle the stuff
more frequently if it is roasted or grilled. I like to grill it on the
BBQ after it has been smeared with a combination of yogurt and curry.

And did your appreciation of cauliflower change over time? Did you
like or dislike it as a kid? Did that change over time? Do you expect
a change in your appreciation in the near future?

Also with regard to your wife, your son, your and her parents in days
of yore, and possibly your neighbours, please.

Did you get a good whiff this time, Master?

You'll have to purchase the box set for such details, or lets
get him to invite us over to watch his 8mm home movies with
him, while he narrates it for us.

A YouTube channel would be nice, or at least a detailed spreadsheet.

Maybe he can write a new 3 part novel ... Cauliflower and me ... By RCMP

Boiled cauliflower is boring. That's probably the way so many of us had
it. (Possibly served topped with some sort of cheese sauce; didn't care
much for that, either.) This is sort of a cross between boiled and
roasted with the added crunch of the seasoned breadcrumbs. It's tasty!

Dave doesn't like it boiled, but likes it roasted. And now you bring
up a cross between boiled and roasted. Talk about complicating
matters! Will Dave like that? Or will he reject it? I can't wait for
his reply!

Master, you could simply make up his reply and post it. It would be like
the good old days when you actually was dave!

This is the truth! Boiled cauliflower is not good. I eat mine raw if I'm
forced. Any other way, is the way of the devil!
