Cauliflower, I love it!
It's delicious and easy to prepare.
But cooking it is not easy.
You never know how long you have to cook it, it turns yellow, and...
It doesn't smell very good!
Here are 3 tips for successfully cooking a cauliflower and deal with all these little inconveniences.
1. Steamed :if you like to keep all the vitamins in your vegetables, you use a steamer, or a pressure cooker.
Congratulations to you ! I do it too... For this cooking, I count between 5 to 10 min depending on the size of my cauliflower.
2. With bubbling water :with this cooking method, the cauliflower needs more time, between 15 and 20 minutes and without forgetting to salt the water.
3. At the baby cook :well yes, baby likes it from 12 months! It takes about 15 minutes.
A cauliflower that yellows , it's not very pretty . When you want to make a gratin with friends, it can immediately be quite unappetizing! To avoid this:
1. I add one tablespoon of flour per liter of cooking water.
2. I mix to avoid lumps.
3. Then I add my cauliflower as soon as it boils.
To remove the powerful and not very pleasant smell of cauliflower in the house, I have several little tricks:
1. I ventilate ! It sounds silly, but yes, I air! I'm mainly thinking of airing all the rooms, in fact... because the smell spreads as soon as I open a door.
2. I don't hesitate to put a pinch of baking soda in the cooking water, it really reduces the smell!
If my guests like sweet flavors...
I put sugar and not baking soda in the cooking water, in order to remove the smell and to have a little delicate taste as a bonus...
