Cauliflower Gratin
 

I found this recipe on the following blog "ibreatheimhungry" and I tried this tonight as an accompaniment to my steak and veg. It was delicious and a fantastic replacement for gratin dauphinois so I thought I'd share it:

I've never cooked cauliflower in the microwave. Are you sure the time is right? It takes less than 10 minutes to steam cauliflower on top of the stove.

I personally halved the amount and microwaved it for 10 mins and it was done but yes, that's exactly what the recipe states you can see the original recipe by clicking on the link at the bottom. Sorry I've never steamed cauliflower so I'm not sure on that side.

Oh and you're not the only one whose thought that as you'll see from the comments on the blog :)
