what to do with frozen cauliflower...
I've got several bags in the freezer. Any good ideas for dinner tonight?

Sautee or boil it, then mix with a spiced honey mustard. I mix mustard, mayo, honey, curry, garlic, paprika, salt, cayenne and/or black pepper. Optional: Top with fresh cilantro and chopped cashews. This is my favorite cauliflower dish. I replicated it from the cauliflower that Houston's used to serve (until they changed theirs to something horrible).

Not sure if frozen would work the same in this recipe but I made this the other night and it was wonderful!! Even heated up leftovers tasted great.

It's fantastic roasted with olive oil and some sea salt. It gets all brown and caramelized and takes the veggie to a whole new level.

don't know that frozen will brown and crisp that well though -- it defrosts and is incredibly wet.

Good point. I think I may have only made it with fresh cauli. Frozen may well be better mashed or as a soup. With cheese. :-D

I agree with Christina, cream of cauliflower soup, perhaps with bits of crispy ham croutons or cauliflower cheese soup...you can also thaw and drain really well (pat dry with a towel), season well and tempura it; maybe add them to other vegetables in a casserole

Cauliflower puree instead of potato mash?
Roasted with a little ground oriander, garlic ,and olive oil?
Maybe curried in a soup, with coconut milk (frankly, I'm sick of this combo after once or twice a season...)?
I read somewhere you can steam cauliflower, then whiz in the food processor until the texture of rice, and use it instead of a rice side.
