Cauliflower is an under-used veggie I think. You don't see it too often on menus and rarely do you have it served to you at someone's house. Or at least that's been my experience. 

I happen to really enjoy cooked cauliflower. It's disgusting raw. I have several friends who aren't a fan of it, but I try to feed it to them anyhow. 

Tonight is Sunday dinner. It's being hosted by some British/Scottish friends. He's making a roast and I wanted to bring a unique and a bit different veggie side dish. Enter Curried Cauliflower Gratin.

Y'all this recipe was so freaking delicious. It's being added to the favorites for 2022. Make this side dish!

Hmm, this one didn’t work out quite like I expected. The cauliflower got really mushy and the “sauce” basically cooked away to nothing, just a sludge on the bottom of what felt like an overheated pan. Where did I go wrong Jenn?
