One simple way: Sauté onion, add cauliflower, broth to cover, cook for
ten-twelve minutes until cauliflower is soft. Run through blender
until creamy. Season. Add milk (or cream) if you want until it
reaches the desired colour. Eat hot.

CAULIFLOWER AND HORSERADISH GRATIN

There's horseradish in the cream sauce and, for good measure, some more in the
buttery crumb crust.
3 1/2 pounds cauliflower, trimmed, cut into florets (about 8 cups)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 cups half and half
7 tablespoons prepared white horseradish
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
Ground nutmeg
1 cup packed grated Fontina cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 cups fresh French breadcrumbs

Preheat oven to 375°F. Steam cauliflower until crisp-tender, about 9 minutes.
Transfer to 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in heavy
large saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and stir 2 minutes (do not brown).
Gradually whisk in half and half. Cook until sauce boils and thickens, whisking
constantly, about 4 minutes. Mix in 5 tablespoons horseradish and vinegar.
Season to taste with nutmeg, salt and pepper. Pour sauce over cauliflower and
mix to coat. Sprinkle cheese over. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)

Melt 3 tablespoons butter in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Mix in
mustard and remaining 2 tablespoons horseradish. Add breadcrumbs; stir until
crumbs are golden brown, about 9 minutes. Sprinkle over cauliflower.

Bake until cauliflower is heated through, about 25 minutes.

It's pretty simple. Steam the cauliflower until tender. Then make a white
sauce - you'll want a medium one for this. 23Tbs. butter melted, sthen stir
in 2 Tbs. flour. Season with salt & pepper. Add 1 cup of whole milk, half
& half or cream. Stir and cook the sauce until thickened. Pour over
steamed califlower. Heat through.

And if you add cheese to the sauce, shredded cheddar, you cauliflower
cheese.

You can get fancy and top with bread crumbs, and maybe bacon bits, and bake
until golden - au gratin!

And you can get really fancy-schmancy and add shrimp! LOL

My great grandmother on down always did it simply:

Make a roux over med heat, add some whole milk, a little salt and
pepper and a little sugar. Cook until thickened and creamy. Then
they added steamed peas and poured the mixture over a whole head of
steamed cauliflower. Looks weird but tastes nice.

This sounds like a similar approach to one I picked up at a cooking
weekend. Mine augments with a blue cheese custard, which really turns
a simple soup into something quite impressive. The entire thing is
easy to make. I put the recipe he
