Cauliflower

I hate cauliflower; or at least I did. I would not touch the stuff. Raw, cooked, casseroled, it didn't matter. One day a waiter encouraged me to try cauliflower cheese, as he previously experienced the same disdain as I. I immediately fell in love. I started making it at home, and now will make a meal of this dish alone. I start by sauteing onions in butter, adding flour to make a rue. I then add nutmeg, cream, and cheese to make the sauce. This is poured over steamed cauliflower and topped with bread crumbs. This time, I served it with grilled turkey chops. This makes an easy meal, and a great way to con kids into eating vegetables (even though they have lost most of their nutritional value).
