JUMP TO RECIPE

Before, I was not very fond of cauliflower because of its particular smell. I was not very pleasant; in addition to washing, the cauliflower is quite rigorous since it could leave with insects or fungi, which would not be healthy at the time of consuming it.

Now, this perception has changed. I have learned to fight the smell, passing it through boiling water, and in the wash, I am quite careful cleaning each stem. That is why I am not afraid to consume it in every possible way, for example, in torticas, creams, or soups.

In this recipe, I love the flavor that cauliflower acquires when mixed with mozzarella cheese and béchamel sauce. Since this vegetable receives a tender and crunchy texture and the sauce gives it quite softness, which is an excellent combination to savor.

This preparation does not require the use of a lot of time and has no difficulty. Well, bring it to a boil for a few minutes, then take it to an oven-safe container, bathe it with the sauce and cheese and take it to the oven for a few minutes to gratin.

It is essential to keep in mind that, if they do not have an oven, there is another alternative to consider, in this case, it is to leave the cauliflower in a large pot, add the sauce, the cheese and let it melt.
