This recipe is from Lisa Hanson of Cabbagetown Market. Easy, easy. Oh – I wanted to share this wonderful way to turn your head of cauliflower into florets. It came from King Arthur Flour. Cut the head in half, and then cut away the core like you would a cabbage. The florets, for the most part, just fall off! It was a tip they shared from one of their editors who spent years in restaurant kitchens. Love it!
If you don’t have leeks at home, you really could use any member of the onion family you prefer. I wouldn’t discard the leftover milk as Lisa suggests – it could be used to flavor mashed rutabagas or turnips or become the base for a potato soup.
