It would be great if all my cauliflower looked like this, unfortunately they don’t. Many do not form a tight head, some are more yellow than white, and some even look like sprouting broccoli. Most of this is caused by growing in too warm a climate, but today I want to give you a recipe that uses cauliflower that is not so pretty to look at.
