I like a Sri Lankan curry- cauliflower, spinach and cashew nut cooked in coconut milk.

Yes agree I cauliflower lends itself very well to curry, really the best way to cook it, the Indians know how to get the best out of them. Although your recipe sounds very nice BBevan, an alternative to cauliflower cheese. It's amazing how such a bland vegetable can reek they way it does shock

I managed to pick up two really large ones in M&S for a £1 each, I certainly wouldn't pay £2 for one.

Make a cauliflower, potato and chickpea curry. Yummy!

My local hasn't ordered any as they were priced at over £2 from his supplier.

BB that sounds delicious! Unfortunately the cauliflower I ordered in my online shop wasn't available

Cook it, then purée with pepper, butter and cream. Freezes well and makes a glorious topping for a fish, or Shepherd’s pie

Just to return to the thread I started, yes we also had cauliflower cheese last night, threw in some macaroni and ham to jazz it up a bit. I still have another left, so I may well go with your suggestion BradfordLass, blanch and freeze the evil smelling veg.

Thanks all.

I'd put it in a snap-lock bag, or bags, and still store it in the cold garae. It doesn't have to be in one piece.
You could also blanch and freeze it.

I’ll have it!
Cauliflower cheese, or a cauliflower/macaroni cheese combo, is always a favourite in this house.
Alas our veg box delivery has so far failed to include any.

Oh dear. Cauliflower cheese for lunch??

I made the mistake of chopping the remainder up, it was a big cauliflower, but in future I will follow your advice, our garage is cold, I should have done that in the first place. Just didn't bargain on how the smell permeates. Under normal circumstances, I shop every couple of days so don't keep veg in the fridge for longer periods, but since the lock down just once a week.

Thanks!

Takeit out of the fridge and put it in the garage or a box outside. As long as you haven’t unwrapped the green leaves cauliflower keeps for at least a week, usually more just a n normal temperatures?

Help! In the absence of broccoli on my last big shop, I bought cauliflower, clearly the Durian fruit of vegetables. It reeks to high heaven in my fridge. Any suggestions as to neutralising the smell.
