Baked Cauliflower


For Bechamel Sauce:
1/4 cup Oil
1/2 cup Flour
3 cups Soy Milk
1 tsp Garlic, Onion Powder
1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast
1 tsp Salt

1 large Cauliflower or 1 small Cauliflower and Broccoli Crown

No Stick Cooking Oil Spray
Bread Crumbs

-----------

Wash and trim the Cauliflower.
Steam shortly and set aside.

Fancy version Bechamel Sauce:

Heat the Oil and stir in flour just like making roux. Mix till golden color.
Whisk in the wormed milk slowly.
Cook for about a minute or two.
Turn the heat off and whisk in the Nutritional Yeast and the Garlic and Onion powder.

Easy version Bechamel Sauce:
Just whisk flour and milk together with the Garlic and Onion Powder and the Nutritional Yeast and Pour over the Cauliflower laid out nicely in the baking dish as described bellow.
Bake about 45- 50 minutes.

Spray your baking dish (10 x 10 inch is good) with the no stick oil and sprinkle with the bread crumbs to prevent sticking.

Place nicely the split cauliflower crowns (and the broccoli if you using) on the bottom.
Scoop over the Bechamel sauce with spatula and spread evenly.
You can sprinkle some bread crumbs on top and place to teaspoons of veggie butter.
Bake for about 35 - 45 minutes to golden brown. You can check the sauce with tooth pick. If it comes out dry it's done.

Cauliflower & Potato Curry (Variation on Gobi Aloo)

Oil
1 diced Onion
2-3 cloves of Garlic
1/2 head f Cauliflower - Take apart in small pieces
2 large or 4 small-medium Potatoes - Cut into small cubes
1 cup Green Peas (Can use frozen)
I large Apple (I like Green or Gala)

2 tsp Yellow Curry Powder
1 tsp Turmeric
1 tsp Chili Paste (Optional)
1 tsp Coriander
1 tsp Cumin

1 cup Veggie Stock or just Water (You will need little salt if you use only water)
1/2 can Coconut Milk


Saute Onions and Garlic over 1 tbsp of Oil until soft.
Add all the spices and cook for about 2 minutes.
Add Potatoes and Cauliflower and coat with the spices very well.
Add water and cook until soft about 10 minutes.
Add Peas and Coconut Milk and cook shortly on low until the frozen peas are soft and warm. About 2 minutes.
Do not overcook the Coconut Milk. It'll cause it to loose the great flavor.

Serve over steamed rice.
