how to cook Healthy Vegetarian Cauliflower Casserole?
STEP 1
To start, preheat your oven to 200°C (400⁰F). Now, let’s get chopping black olives into rings.
STEP 2
Next, divide the cauliflower into florets.
STEP 3
Now, grab a pan and fill it with some water, salt and bring to boil. Toss in the cauliflower florets and let them boil away for about 10 minutes.
STEP 4
Once the cauliflower is nice and tender, transfer it to a small bowl and mash it up into a smooth puree.
TIPS: Are you lacking a potato masher but still craving that creamy cauliflower puree? Fear not, as we have a range of ingenious alternatives for you to explore. Whether you have an immersion blender, a food chopper, a meat grinder, or even just a trusty fork, you can achieve the same velvety texture and deliciousness.
STEP 5
Heat up a frying pan over high heat and drizzle in a little vegetable oil. Add the cauliflower puree and let it sizzle for about 5 minutes.
STEP 6
Time to add some flavor! Toss in those chopped black olives, cover the pan with a lid, and let it all mingle for another 5 minutes.
STEP 7
Transfer the mixture to a medium-sized bowl and crack in eggs. Grate in some cheese, sprinkle in some dried garlic, salt, and black pepper, and give it all a good stir.
TIPS: Running low on dried garlic? Don’t fret! A small clove of fresh garlic can effortlessly step in as a worthy replacement. Simply finely chop it or utilize a garlic press to extract its aromatic essence. Your dishes will still be bursting with that irresistible garlic flavor.
STEP 8
Now, let’s prep those cabbage leaves. Boil some water and quickly dip the leaves in for a few seconds. Once they’re slightly softened, take them out and rinse them with cold water. Cut out the veins from the leaves.
STEP 9
Grab two baking dishes with a diameter of 14 cm and grease them up with some oil. Line the insides with those cabbage leaves we prepped earlier. Looking good! Now, spoon in the cauliflower filling into the prepared forms. Make sure it’s evenly distributed.
STEP 10
Pop those baking dishes into the preheated oven at 200оС (400оF) and let them bake for a tantalizing 15 minutes.
