Hi

I have a recipe for scalloped cauliflower that calls for 2 bags of frozen cauliflower. Can I use fresh raw cauliflower instead. Would I need to adjust the cooking time.

You can use fresh but just make sure that you cook the cauliflower first before mixing it with the other ingredients.

I made this dish last week. Since I only use fresh vegetables I did a search on the web to see how long to cook the cauliflower. There was a wide range, anywhere from 6 to 20 minutes. Since I like my cauliflower on the firm side I cooked for 8 minutes after the water began to boil, then I let it drain and dry for about 10 minutes to remove as much water as possible. I think this worked out fine. Although next time I will add a little thickener when I add the cream. This traditional French dish calls for flour and I can understand why, it would have been better if the sauce had thickened (but it was still excellent!) Good luck.
