Cauliflower absorbs the flavors it is cooked with really well -- so spice it up a bit, you'll enjoy what you get.
Instead of Potatoes...
2 C cauliflower, chopped
1 T cream cheese (fat free or low fat works fine)
1 T butter
2 T Parmesan cheese, grated
Boil cauliflower in about an inch of water for about 6 minutes, until tender. Drain. Then, puree with cream cheese and butter. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, and serve warm.
Instead of Rice...
1 C cauliflower florets, sliced lenthwise
1 leek (white part only), sliced
1 T olive oil
2 T water
Saute the sliced leek in the olive oil. Add 1 C florets and 2 T water. Cover, and cook for 2 minutes. Serve warm.
Instead of Couscous...
2 C cauliflower florets
1 T olive oil
1/8 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. coriander
1/4 tsp. cumin
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
Toss the cauliflower together with the oil and spices. Place in a glass baking dish and bake at 450 for 25 minutes.
