Cauliflower Gratin

Cauliflower Gratin Recipe

2 small cauliflowers heads, cut into bite-size pieces

2 tablespoons coconut oil

4 garlic cloves, chopped

1 large onion, chopped

½ cup cashews

3 tablespoons of nutritional yeast

1 tablespoon dried mustard powder

Pinch of nutmeg

1 cup water

1 cup of panko breadcrumbs

Salt and ground black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons chopped parsley (for garnish; optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375º F.

Place the cauliflower into a large pot and cover with water and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, and then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until fork-tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and allow dry for a minute or two; chop into bite-size pieces. Set aside one cup of cauliflower for the sauce.

Heat coconut oil over medium heat; add garlic and onion sauté for 5-7 mins.

For sauce: add cauliflower, onion, garlic, mustard powder, nutmeg, cashews, nutritional yeast, salt, pepper and water in a blender; pulse until mixture forms a fine paste. Set aside.

In an ovenproof dish, place cauliflower; cover with sauce and top with breadcrumbs.

Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. Broil for one min or until breadcrumbs are lightly browned. Garnish with parsley.
