Cauliflower and Feta Cheese Gratin

This time not originally my recipe or Indonesian food. I got this recipe from Deborah Madison cookbook, she has tons of good recipe. I love it...recommended cookbook for vegetarian.


I made a few change from the original recipe (only a few little things) kinda I use more cheese (can't help ! I love cheese), more lemon.





Okay !! Let's cook...





Ingredients :





3 T olive oil


1 onion, thinly sliced


3 garlic cloves, chopped


1 1/2 tsp dried oregano


1/4 tsp ground cinnamon


5 tomatoes, diced or 1 15oz can diced tomatoes ( I always use canned tomatoes, easier)


2 tsp honey


1 tsp capers, rinsed


salt


white ground pepper


1 large cauliflower, broken into florets


Juice of 1 lemon


6 oz crumbled feta cheese (BEST part !! Yummy!)


1 T dried parsley








Preheat the oven 400F and lightly oil 2-quart gratin dish.





Heat the oil on medium, add onion, garlic, oregano and cinnamon. Cook until onion looks transparent, about hmm..5 0r 7 minutes. Add tomatoes cook for a few minutes, then add honey, capers, parsley and season with salt and pepper.


Set a side.





Now, steam cauliflower for about 5 minutes. Get the gratin dish...spoon half of sauce and put half of cauliflower and half of cheese on top of the sauce.


Repeat with the remaining sauce, cauliflower and cheese. Squeeze lemon juice over the top.


Bake about 20 minutes until bubbling and then brown under the broiler.


Serve with couscous...enjoy !!

I'm just a house wive with many hobbies. Cooking, card making, baking (especially pastry), diving and the new one caking. I never thought I will decorate cake or cook before. In Indonesia, the country where I came from...maybe with people whom I knew..friends and families, no one vegetarian. Only me and my son...something odd for them. Sometimes I felt uncomfortable when they looked at me strange..I could read their mind " this lady is freak ". Once, I ordered fried noodle in restaurant. Special request..no meat, no shrimp, only vegetable. They added sausage and meat ball (bakso in Indonesia language). When I complained, the waiter said : But that's sausage and bakso. Geez, I didn't know what I have to do. I'm Budhist. So, after that I just said I'm Budhist and they respect more than vegetarian..hahaha. About cake, hhmmm...never made beautiful cake or delicious cake. I like cooking or baking just for myself and my son...until I met my husband Keith. He opened my eyes. I can cook delicious and I found the last thing I can bake nicely too. Thanks Honey !!! I still need to learn still newbie..
