Cauliflower or Kukkakaalilaatikko is a Finnish vegetable side dish with an interesting name. It is similar to an omelette and it is easy to make as well.
Ingredients:
1 cup beer
3 cups cubed rye bread
1 head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon caraway seed
3 cups extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated
4Â eggs
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
Ground black pepper
Preheat the oven at 350F.
One hour before cooking the cauliflower, pour the beer in a shallow bowl until it becomes flat.
Place the bread cubes on a tray and bake them for 15 minutes or until they are crisp. Do not brown.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the cauliflower and caraway seeds until they are almost tender.
In a big bowl, combine the bread, cheese and cauliflower. Mix well. Place the cauliflower mixture in a casserole dish.
In another bowl, combine mustard, coriander, eggs, pepper and beer. Mix well or blend it in a blender. Pour it into the casserole dish with the cauliflower mixture. Bake it for 30-40 minutes until the tops start turning golden brown. Serve warm.
