Besides the standards of dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy
we also had a cauliflower gratin
and brussels sprouts.
I was being lazy yesterday and didn't feel like going out so I used what I had on hand.
=====================
This is an outline. I don't really follow a recipe when I make this.
Small head of cauliflower cooked until almost tender
Butter
Flour
Garlic
Salt, pepper
Chicken broth
Cream
Cheddar Cheese or parmesan
Bread Crumbs
Parmesan cheese
Make a roux with butter and flour. Add a little minced garlic.
Add chicken broth and/or cream. Cook until sauce is thick and add some cheddar or Parmesan cheese.
Stir in the cauliflower. Pour into a casserole dish.
Sauté some fresh bread crumbs in a little butter seasoned with garlic and more Parmesan cheese and sprinkle on top of the cauliflower. Bake in a 350 oven until hot.
This looks delicious. Another meal I just love!! I'm going to get either a roasting chicken or a turkey breast. And I want to try your Cauliflower Gratin. Looks wonderful -
ReplyDeleteAHHH! Why must you torture me?? Turkey day is a whole...month...away! I am thinking Thanksgiving is coming early to our house! ;)
ReplyDeleteWe had a very similar dinner yesterday night but with a huge roasted chicken...I always start to crave the Thanksgiving meal around this time...
ReplyDeleteYour looks wonderful! As always!

I remember when years ago someone asked you if you were married:)
ReplyDeleteI am sure you get proposals all the time;) But I know your heart belongs to Moe:)
This looks like home on a plate.
I'm so hungry for a turkey dinner just like the one you've prepared. Cauliflower au gratin is a favorite here. Brussel sprouts too. I can't wait for Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeletecompletely and totally *f a b u l o u s !! **
ReplyDeleteWOW. This looks so hearty! I can imagine using the gratin recipe on broccoli too.
ReplyDeleteI caved yesterday; had a wonderful turkey sandwich with stuffing and cranberry. I still think your dinner is much better!
