Gratinéed Cauliflower with Béchamel Sauce
Our younger son Brad prepared this recipe.
My wife and I have 4 children – Kelly, Steve, Meredith and Brad – our attempt at immortality. Kelly’s son, Liam, has made an appearance in this project – we see him a lot – lucky us. Kelly is a teacher, married to John, & is only about 15 minutes away; Steve is a Mechanical Engineer, engaged to Kate, & lives about 3 hours away – see below at Yankee Stadium; Mere lives in Ottawa & works for the federal government- her life is an adventure and we’re along for the ride; Brad is continuing his education in the Toronto region and likes to cook – so, why not?
Ingredients below – pretty bland looking – cauliflower, parmigiano reggiano cheese, flour, salt, milk, nutmeg, butter. The milk, butter, flour and most of the salt are used in making the Béchamel sauce.
Everything in a buttered baking dish, ready to go into the oven.
The final result – not much more to say. Pretty good cauliflower dish.
What I liked about this recipe:
Well, pretty easy – especially since I didn’t have to prepare it.
But, actually, I liked the opportunity to consult with one of my children about this dish – so, it was a winner.
What I didn’t I like about this recipe:
No problems.
Would I make it again?
Yes.
Marvelous family, good work Mr & Mrs Doug, immortality is in the making!
In another of my books, either “Marcella Cucina” or “Marcella Says”, there is an exceptionally tasty version of this dish with with ham.
