STORAGE TIPS
- Cauliflower does not store well. It can take on a strong odor and flavor.
- Refrigerate in a plastic bag. It will keep for about one week.
CULINARY TIPS
- Soak head in cold, salted water for a few minutes and then rinse.
- Remove tough outer leaves and cut out core for even cooking. The head can be left whole or cut into pieces.
- Steam the whole head for 15-20 minutes or 5-10 minutes for florets. Cook until tender but not soft. Stop the cooking process by running under cold water.
- Cut up raw florets and serve with dip.
- Marinate steamed cauliflower in a favorite dressing along or with other veggies. Serve chilled.
- Top with a lemon butter sauce or sprinkle with grated cheese.
- Use cauliflower puree for a creamy soup base or soup thickener.
