By Chazza 08 May 2012 19:52	Freezing cauliflower We have a cauliflower glut at the moment and would like to freeze some, something the supermarkets seem to be able to do. But ours go yellow and loose a lot of quality. Someone suggested blanching them in milk but that would make them good for macaroni cheese and not much else (well quiche and curry I suppose). Does anyone have the answer? Reply Quote

By sam from worthing 09 May 2012 12:49	Freezing Cauliflower when we had 6 heads of cauliflower, i was a bit stuck with what to do, and i blanched florets only for about 4-5 mins. then straight in cold water - then left to drain and drain and drain and drain - with a few slight shimmys thrown in - then i placed on 3 baking sheets and open froze - then bagged up - i can;t stress they need to be very well drained then you don;t get the "mushy" delicate end bits.

By Chazza 10 May 2012 12:55	Cauliflower solutions Thank you both for your advice, there's so much cauliflower that I might try a piccalilli (?) with just cauli, or maybe with those tiny onions as well, they're my favourites. Or a cauliflower curry chutney. Hmm, time to get inventing. The freezing advice is just what I was looking for, we've been treating them like carrots which don't seem to care about a bit of water. "when we had 6 heads of cauliflower" - that's what we have (or had), the champion was 6lb 12oz and 22 inches around the flower. One caught the sun and went a bit yellow so that's going in Aloo Gobi tonight. Reply Quote
