    Cauliflower & brocolli.

    What can I do with it that tastes good? I have been getting my fruit and verge from 'itsfresh' and they have given me 2 bunches of cauliflower and 3 bunches of brocolli.
    I'm not a massive cauliflower fan and all I can think of doing with it it steaming it and putting a cheese sauce on it!
    Does anybody have any good recipes that use a butt load of cauliflower or brocolli or both?

    You could blanch and freeze some of it.

    Go a step up from cheese sauce and make a brocolli, cauliflower, bacon and pasta cheesey bake. Add garlic, onion, bow tie pasta (or any pasta), cheese, cream and a little mustard and salt and pepper in a bowl, mix together and pour over everything else in a dish. Top with some more cheese. You could also use light spur cream instead of cream to make it healthier. Totally nommable and easy!

    Flemington direct has a delicious cauliflower soup recipe. But the broccoli and cauliflower gratin is my favorite.

    I have the BEST Broccoli salad you can make - it's a family favourite.

    2 heads uncooked broccoli - cut up the florets (just the ends) into smallish bite size pieces
    250g cooked bacon
    4 spring onions
    3 sticks celery
    1/2 cup sunflower or pumpkin seeds, roasted
    1 cup miracle whip mayo (doesn't work with others)
    1/4 cup sugar
    1 tsp vinegar

    Cut everything up into bite size pieces, mix together.
    Mix mayo, sugar and vinegar, then mix through rest of ingredients.

    Where's Rouge when you need her...

    umm roasted head of cauliflower is a beautiful alternative (spray/oil it and roast it with your other vegies)
    cualiflower soup with milk/cream and parmesan toasts
    grate the whole head and use as you would rice -makes an awesome risotto or fried rice.
