Delicious cauliflower with meat in the oven. Step by step recipe
- Wash the cauliflower and disassemble it into medium-sized inflorescences. It needs to be boiled a little. Therefore, we collect water in a saucepan: choose a deep one so that all the cabbage fits. Lightly add some salt to the boiling water and toss in the cauliflower. Bring it all to a boil again and cook for literally two to three minutes. Using a slotted spoon, we take it out into a colander so that the excess liquid is glass. The main thing is not to digest cabbage. We will then bake it in the oven, so if we digest it, it will look like mashed potatoes (porridge). Do not pour out the water in which we boiled the cabbage - it will be useful to us a little later.
- We transfer the finished boiled cabbage to a baking sheet or into that container in which we will bake our dish in the oven.
- Now let's get started preparing for the minced meat. Cut the onion into small cubes. Finely chop the garlic with a knife, also in small cubes.
- We clean the bell pepper from seeds and core. Cut it into strips first, then chop it into cubes. The approximate size of the cubes should be the same as the sliced onions.
- We take a frying pan, put it on the stove, pour in sunflower oil: about 2-3 tablespoons. We send our chopped and prepared vegetables. Fry over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes. Stir occasionally with a spatula. We make sure that the vegetables do not burn and take on a beautiful soft state.
- We send the minced meat prepared earlier to the pan. I use beef. But it can be replaced with any other meat that you like or have: chicken, pork, and even a rabbit. Mix it with vegetables. Add salt and pepper at this stage: everything to your liking.
- Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5-10 minutes. Do not cover with a lid. During this time, the minced meat should completely change its color. He will let some of his juice, and everything is already starting to smell very appetizing. Especially tasty aroma of garlic and beef (personally, I already salivate when we fry all this yummy).
- After the specified time, add tomato paste... If you don't have it, replace it with ketchup or tomato sauce... You can even take a home tomato juice... Just take not one tablespoon as a paste, but two or even three: since they contain less tomatoes. Stir and simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Now the time has come when we return to the water in which the cabbage inflorescences were boiled. Add a glass of cabbage broth somewhere in the pan. If you took not 200, but 300 grams of minced meat, add 250-300 milliliters. It is necessary that the dressing is not so thick. The resulting appetizing mass of minced meat and vegetables must be spread over the cauliflower. If you don't want to use the broth, replace it with plain water or broth if you have one.
- Now the baking sheet or form needs to be covered with foil. Fold down the edges so that everything fits snugly. We do this so that the cabbage does not dry out: since it is half ready.
- In the oven preheated to 180 * C, we send the dish to cook for 20-30 minutes. Then remove the foil and turn on the grill mode for a couple of minutes: brown it a little.
- Pulling out fragrant cabbage with minced meat. And we serve both in portions and can be served on a platter with wide sides.
Now you also have a wonderful, simple, delicious cauliflower dish with vegetables on your table. It can be served with tomato sauce or adjika. Can be served as a side dish for main courses. Always cook with love: then everything turns out not only delicious, but also beautiful. "I love to cook" wishes you success in the kitchen and bon appetit!
Cut the beef into pieces and simmer together with the mushrooms, also cut into slices and chopped onions for 30 minutes over low heat.
Wash cauliflower and disassemble into inflorescences. Add one half of the inflorescences to the pan to the meat. Pour the garlic powder there and continue to simmer until the meat and vegetables are cooked. Meanwhile, mix the starch with a little cold water, stir so that there are no lumps and pour into a saucepan, stirring occasionally, to form a homogeneous thick mass.
Boil the second half of cauliflower inflorescences for 20 minutes until soft.
Then use a blender to grind the cauliflower to a puree state. Add this puree to the meat and vegetables. Put bay leaf and butter there. Add salt and pepper to taste. Ready!

Cauliflower with meat - cooking tricks and tips
It will be much easier to disassemble the head of cabbage by inflorescences if you boil it at a moderate temperature for about five minutes. After that, no additional blanching is required.
Small pests often live in inflorescences. To get rid of them, fill the head of cabbage with a weak saline solution, and the living creatures will go away on their own.
To maximize the juiciness of any cauliflower and meat dish, add the flowers to the skillet immediately after the meat juice has evaporated, or a couple of minutes before.
If you add a spoonful of sugar to the water during blanching, the cabbage will not only not darken during further cooking, but it will also become much tastier.
