BEFORE COOKING:

Remove frozen cauliflower just before cooking; do not thaw.

COOK:

Place it in boiling salted water (approx. 2 teaspoons per 1 liter of water). It is also advisable to lightly salt it (approx. 1 teaspoon per 1 liter of water). Cook for 7–10 minutes. Start timing from the moment the water boils again. Midway through cooking, you can add milk. After boiling, uncover the pot to allow unpleasant‑smelling oils to evaporate, then finish cooking with the lid on. To check if the cauliflower is done, insert a fork or knife. If it goes in easily, it is ready.

AFTER COOKING:

After cooking, drain the cauliflower.

SERVING SUGGESTION:

Cauliflower makes a good side dish to meat, poultry, or fish. When serving, sprinkle with toasted, grated bread and drizzle with melted butter.
