Creamy Cauliflower Garlic Sauce
Cascading Kitchen Notes
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.
Serve over diced, steamed or roasted potatoes and carrots. Top with fresh herbs or a Mimi-mince of some configuration.
Roast slabs of cabbage and slices of carrots and drizzle with whole lemon dressingR Ocauliflower sauce. So many scrumptious choices!
