Tips:
- Choose the right cauliflower: A head of cauliflower that is compact and heavy for its size is best. Avoid heads with brown spots or blemishes.
- Parboil the cauliflower: Parboiling helps to soften the cauliflower and reduce its cooking time. Be sure to drain the cauliflower thoroughly before proceeding.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will work well.
- Don't overcook the gratin: The gratin should be cooked until the cheese is melted and bubbly, but the cauliflower should still have a slight bite to it.
- Serve the gratin immediately: The gratin is best served immediately, while it is hot and bubbly. It can be reheated, but it is not as good as when it is freshly made.
Conclusion:
Cauliflower and horseradish gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to enjoy cauliflower, and the horseradish adds a nice kick of flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
