This cauliflower and potato gratin is a quick and easy recipe that the whole family will enjoy. It is simple to prepare, healthy, and full of flavour.
Gratin is a culinary technique in which an ingredient is topped with a browned crust. Typically, breadcrumbs, grated cheese, or butter are used.
If your kids are anything like mine, then getting them to eat vegetables is no easy task. Cauliflower is a vegetable that is frequently dismissed by children.
This cauliflower gratin recipe, on the other hand, is ideal for children and a brilliant way to incorporate this nutritious vegetable into their diets. My kids love this recipe, and it is sure to be a hit with yours.
Cauliflower is high in fibre and contains many nutrients, as well as antioxidants that help prevent cancer and other diseases.
It helps to lower blood pressure and boost the immune system. It is also popular comfort food for those following a low-carb diet.
For this recipe, I like to steam the cauliflower. Steaming it will help to preserve the nutrients and provide the most benefit.
To steam the cauliflower, use a steamer and a saucepan large enough to hold the steamer on top. Fill the saucepan with boiling water until it almost reaches the steamer without touching it.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the cauliflower pieces to the basket. Allow to steam for approximately 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower can be easily stabbed with a fork.
Mashed potatoes go well with almost everything, and cauliflower is no exception. Cheese is a great way to add richness to both the cauliflower and the potatoes.
The seasoning of the dish is entirely up to personal preference. To keep things simple, my recipe uses just salt and pepper.
Other spices and seasonings can be used if desired. The combination possibilities are limitless.
Mashed potato and cauliflower gratin is an excellent substitute for mashed potatoes. It’s garlicky, buttery, and cheesy, with a crispy breadcrumb topping for crunch.
Panko breadcrumbs are the best breadcrumbs to use for a crunchy topping. These are lighter and crispier than regular breadcrumbs. The reason for using these breadcrumbs is that they retain their crunchiness even after baking.
A new and improved version of an old classic: silky smooth and creamy mashed potatoes with cauliflower.
