Frosted Cauliflower

Yields 3 cups

INGREDIENTS:

1 head cauliflower

¼ cup plain yogurt (dairy or soy)

2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard

1 teaspoon agave nectar

½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese (dairy or soy)

For a more striking presentation, this can be made with the whole head intact and then divided into florets when serving.

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

  • Cut cauliflower into florets.

  • Drop florets into boiling water, cook for 1–2 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.

  • In a small bowl, mix together yogurt, mustard, and agave nectar.

  • Toss cauliflower in sauce.

  • Transfer to 1½-quart casserole dish, cover with cheese.

  • Bake, uncovered, for 20–25 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Using Convenience Foods

With the increased interest in organic foods, a number of organic convenience foods have become available at well-stocked grocery stores. Make these foods even more nutritious by adding a personal touch. For example, you could add steamed cauliflower or broccoli florets to macaroni and cheese, add colorful bell pepper rings to a frozen cheese pizza, or top frozen waffles with fresh fruit and vanilla yogurt.
