Gratin Cauliflower
Cauliflower is pretty popular these days, which makes sense because this veggie is super versatile. Even better, it's super nutritious. These white bunches are a great source of fibre and potassium, super low in fat and sodium. It can be consumed raw, roasted in the oven, cooked in tomato paste (yiahni - the Greek version) etc. The following recipe is not only delicious but also high in protein.
