My thoughts:
I've been doing a lot of shopping at Aldi lately (shameless plug for my Aldi fan blog here) as well as acre their produce department is small-scale they ever convey freakishly practiced looking cauliflower. Plus it is much cheaper at that topographic point than at the regular supermarket then I've been making as well as eating a lot of cauliflower lately. I've ever liked it but spending $4 for a caput of cauliflower when it is a vegetable that needs a lot of run to jazz it upward (who eats obviously steamed cauliflower? no i I'd desire to know) was never really appealing to me. Now that I convey a cheaper source, I've been making it inwards a billion different ways.

This recipe turns cauliflower into a holiday-worthy, indulgent treat. Pepper Jack cheese adds some rut as well as the parsley as well as greenish onions freshen it up. Technically, you lot could skip the baking pace as well as exactly toss it amongst the cauliflower but those final few minutes inwards the oven crisps upward both the cauliflower as well as cheese as well as makes it exactly that much tastier as well as satisfying to eat.

I similar using a Pepper Jack that is a flake hot (usually Cabot) but a milder Pepper Jack would run every bit well, for the spice-adverse.
