Cauliflower appeared in Russia rather late - at the beginning of the 19th century. By this time, Russian cuisine had already had time to finally form, and there was no place for a new unprecedented vegetable in it. Despite the fact that it was possible to find it on many counters, cabbage was bought reluctantly and very rarely.
For a long time, they did not remember about cauliflower, and it began to appear on the kitchen table of our hostesses not very long ago. Only with the advent of ovens, first gas, and then electric, this annoying gap began to gradually fill. They began to bake cabbage, both as an independent dish and together with other products.
Cooking features
For most oven-cooked cauliflower dishes, boil it until half cooked, or a little longer. To a lesser extent, this applies to the actual casseroles, where cabbage is poured with various liquids or sauces. Cauliflower can be boiled in milk.
There are many options for baked cauliflower dishes:
- on a baking sheet;
- in foil;
- in pots;
- in the sleeve, etc.
Preheat the oven to the desired temperature.
How long does it take to bake?
How much baked cauliflower is cooked? Cauliflower is a tender vegetable and cooks quickly.
Pre-cooking takes 5-10 minutes. It is brought to readiness for about 20 minutes, with a head of cabbage - about an hour.
Before you cook, the cauliflower should be sorted out, washed in cold water... It is not superfluous to pour the head of cabbage with cold salted water with vinegar and set aside for half an hour or an hour. During this time, all insects and worms will emerge, which, as the old cookbook says, is much more pleasant than a chance meeting with them on a plate.
