Cauliflower Bake

Now, I saw a recipe on Facebook, posted by Kris Quartermus, for Loaded Cauliflower. I made a couple of changes, which is why I also changed the name of the dish, and I have to thank Kris Quatermus for this wonderful inspiration!! We had it last night with our braai instead of a usual potato side, and it goes very well!! It is also much more filling than you would expect.

Preparation Time: 30min
Cooking Time: 30min
Difficulty Level: Very easy
Serves: 8

Ingredients

3 heads cauliflower
250g bacon, cubed
50g butter
1 onion, chopped
1 punnet mushrooms, sliced
3tbs mayonnaise
2tbs cottage cheese
2t parsley
250ml sour cream
salt & pepper to taste
cayenne pepper

Method

Cook the cauliflower in very little water and some salt, until just done. Add pepper to taste. 

Melt the butter and fry the onions, bacon and mushrooms until slightly browned. 

Combine the mayonnaise, cottage cheese, cream and parsley well. I used my stick blender. 

Mix the mayonnaise mixture, the mushroom mixture, salt to taste and 3/4 of the cheese well. and scoop into a baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and lightly dust with cayenne pepper. 

Bake in the oven at 160degrees C for about 30 minutes, until the cheese starts to brown. 

Enjoy with a tjoppie and a salad!!
