Cauliflower Gratin

Would also be excellent with broccoli or broccoli/cauliflower mix.

3 c. chopped cauliflower (or very small florets)

2 Tbsp. chopped green onion or other mild onion

¼ c. plain yogurt, drained in sieve to thicken

½ tsp. Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper

¼ c. firmly packed shredded Swiss or Gruyere cheese

2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan

¼ c. sliced almonds, rough-chopped

Preheat oven to 375°. Grease gratin or baking dish, 8x8 or smaller.

Steam the cauliflower until very tender. In a bowl, combine warm cauliflower with onion, yogurt and mustard. Coarsely mash with a fork and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to baking dish and sprinkle with cheeses and almonds.* Bake until nicely browned, about 20-30 minutes.

*You could make this dish one day in advance –just refrigerate at this point. Add an extra 8-10 minutes to baking time, since it’ll be cold.
