I got this recipe from my mother who happens to live in a retirement facility in Atlanta, GA. When she served it to me, I knew I had found the best way to serve one of my favorite vegetables. I can eat this dish until I can't move.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Remove woody core from base of head, leaving the head whole.
  2. 2
    Cook Cauliflower in 2 T. water in a 1 1/2 quart covered glass dish in microwave oven for 6 to 7 minutes per pound.
  3. 3
    Rotate dish 1/4 turn halfway through cooking time if you don't have a turntable.
  4. 4
    (This can be done in a regular oven also by cooking until just tender.) Let the Cauliflower rest, covered for 5 minutes.
  5. 5
    In a small mixing bowl, combine the next 3 ingredients and heat them in the microwave for 1 minute.

I thought this would be killer after reading all the reviews but we just were not fond of it. We love cauliflower but no one found it special. We might try it again but I'm not sure. I'm glad everyone else liked it so much. Thank you.

    I made this for dinner last night and my picky daughter loved it. I made it just like the recipe states. Next time I'll cut the cauliflower up before serving it, but as for taste...wow. Love this recipe. Thanks for posting it.

    Cauliflower with a little tang and zip! We really enjoyed this. DH and I ate almost 1/2 of a small head of cauliflower. I used low-fat mayonnaise, coarse-grain mustard and 1 cup fresh shredded cheddar. I drained the cauliflower before 'frosting' and did the final heating uncovered. This is a keeper.

    This was a great way to fix clauliflower! It was so fast and easy. However in the future, I will cut down on the amount of mayonnaise used. I assumed it would kind of melt off in the microwave but it really clung and was a bit too mayonnaisey for my taste.
