A Nice Gratin with no milk.
This week I took two large bundles of braised greens and stirred in 2 cups of the cauliflower sauce. Baked at 350° for 25 min. until bubbly. Serve as a side dish alongside a whole grain like barley or brown rice and you have a sumptuous meal.
This freezes well.
This garlic sauce works great as a vegetable dip, for dipping Veggie Croquettes or drizzle over chicken wings.
