Cauliflower in the kitchen can impress even the most stubborn meat lovers. Of course, it doesn't do it by itself. First, we need a proven recipe. As it happens, we have a few such gems we want to share with you today.

In various types of meatless diets, cauliflower often appears. And for several reasons. Firstly, this vegetable is very healthy — it has anti-inflammatory properties, improves the functioning of blood vessels, and provides a large amount of vitamins and minerals. Secondly, you can create true culinary miracles with it. Cauliflower in batter? Delicious, but experience shows that this vegetable can be used in many more exciting ways.

Cauliflower in beer batter? Vegetable roast? Or maybe... steaks that will replace beef on your plate? We present three cauliflower ideas that we have personally tried and are very satisfied with. Satisfaction guaranteed!

Cauliflower like meat

You can easily prepare cauliflower in a style that will appeal to even the most discerning gourmets. We suggest preparing a batter that makes this vegetable strikingly similar to... meat. The secret lies in a particular liquid: beer. Regular breadcrumbs with butter can't compare to this recipe.

Cauliflower from the oven

We completely understand the desire not to use a frying pan while cooking dinner. The oven — and the dishes we prepare in it — is a proven way to reduce the mess in the kitchen while allowing for the preparation of truly delicious meals. One of them is... cauliflower mac and cheese. Surprised? No need. Divide the cauliflower into florets, pour milk, grated cheese, and butter over it, and then enjoy a delicious casserole your family will love.

Cauliflower steaks

A recipe from Ewa Wachowicz inspires the last suggestion. It's a clear sign that you don't need to worry about the result, right? The culinary master has shown that steaks don't have to be made from beef tenderloin, as their alternative version — from cauliflower — tastes just as good. Of course, the details are essential. Ewa Wachowicz provided a precise list of needed spices. You'll find curry, turmeric, cumin, salt, pepper, and two types of paprika. It's worth checking out; the whole recipe can be found here. Good luck!
