Blumenkohlauflauf (cauliflower Casserole)
Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower, in small pieces
- 1 1/4 cup sour cream (I use about 1 1/2 cups)
- 2 small onions, diced
- fresh chives and parsley (1-2 TBS each)
- garlic salt or powder
- salt & pepper
- sweet paprika powder
- 6-8 tomatoes, sliced
- 8-10 (+) slices of a good, grainy whole wheat bread, toasted
- 1/2 pound cheese, grated (I use Gouda)
Instructions
Butter to grease the casserole form Cook the cauliflower in salt water until "al dente" or barely tender. Mix the sour cream with the diced onions, herbs, spices (liberal hand with the paprika) and salt & pepper. Drain the cooked cauliflower and add it to the sour cream mixture, mix well but carefully so as not to break up the cauliflower pieces too much. Butter a large casserole form. Assemble the casserole in layers: toast, cauliflower mixture, tomatoes then cheese. Repeat until all ingredients are used, top layer should be cheese. Bake for approximately 20 minutes at 425F.
