In my book, cauliflower is an underrated vegetable. It is pretty versatile as well. It can be used raw or blanched in salads, it can be mashed, it can be fried or roasted and it can be used in casseroles. You could also make my recipe for Cauliflower and Potato Gratin or Peynirli Patatesli Karnibahar. I came up with this recipe a little by accident. I had a few potatoes that I wanted to use up so I figured why not add them to this dish I was making. I think it turned out excellent. I hope you will make it yourself. Enjoy! Afiyet olsun!
