Discover six of the best dishes this naughty but necessary food match has produced.
1 Whole baked cauliflower cheese
Skip the chopping and go for a whole head of cauli. Roasting it whole helps bring out its nutty flavour. Add an aromatic herb rub and creamy cheese sauce to the mix, and it becomes a truly magnificent dish! Taking it out of the oven all golden and bubbling will also help to bring a sense of theatre to your table.
With the pairing of sweet cauliflower, silky cheese sauce and carby pasta being so irresistible, we’re surprised it’s not standard practice to always have a handful of cauliflower in your mac n cheese. Add chopped prosciutto, a dollop of mustard and top with panko breadcrumbs for a new comfort food favourite.
3 Buffalo cauliflower with blue cheese sauce
Rest assured no buffalo were harmed in the making of this dish. This bar snack gets the vegetarian treatment by swapping chicken wings for cauli florets. While the protein may have changed, the flavours stay the same. Serve these spicy bites with a cooling blue cheese and sour cream dipping sauce .
4 Cauliflower and gruyère soup
Can’t get enough of this delicious pairing? Get your cauliflower and cheese hit in soup form. This simple recipe sees warming cauliflower soup topped with slices of cheesy bread – yum.
There are many reasons we love this recipe, one of which is the fact that it manages to slip cheese into both the base AND the toppings. Aside from the double dosage of dairy, this recipe is also gluten-free and low carb, making it an all around winning dish.
6 Cauliflower and parmesan mash
In another twist on a classic, cauliflower is blitzed with parmesan and seasoned to perfection to create a deliciously creamy mash. Serve alongside your next roast dinner for a sneaky cauli-cheese hit.
