Boil, steam or microwave for plain cauliflower as a side dish. Or use it as part of a stir-fry.
Or make cauliflower cheese -- chop up cauliflower into suitably sized chunks and cook until just tender. Put into a casserole dish or similar. Make a good amount of cheese sauce and pour over the cauliflower -- should come up to the top of the cauliflower in the dish. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top and stick in a hot oven until the cheese sauce is bubbling away and the breadcrumbs are toasty. Optionally include lots of bacon. Lots of recipes if you google "cauliflower cheese".
I agree. Cauliflower cheese (=In macaroni cheese) is the ONLY way to eat cauliflower.
It's the only way I'll eat cauliflower, anyway.
To make cheese sauce, a generous amount for one person... put about half a cup of milk in a small saucepan, stir in a small tablespoon or so of flour and bring to boil, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon (or plastic, or whatever, but wood is easiest) It should get thick like making custard. Add more milk or flour as necessary. Grate up a lot of cheese, cheddar is good, or use pre-grated parmesan. I like to use about half a cup of grated cheese, or about a tablespoon of parmesan (it's stronger). Turn down the heat to simmer and stir in the cheese. Stir until the cheese melts (This should be about a minute) then scrape out of the pot onto the chopped cauliflower/pasta/fish/whatever.
Cauliflower cheese is AMAZING. Especialy with breadcrumbs and extra cheese on top to make a crunchy crust. If you want to start simply then try steaming it til it's soft and eating it with lemon juice and salt and pepper. Om nom nom, as they say on the Earth planet.
