Cauliflower, Boiled

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Wash the cauliflowers and soak them in a basin of salt water for a few minutes to remove any grubs or caterpillars.

  2. Trim the stalks and place the cauliflowers in a large pot of boiling water.

  3. Boil until tender, about 15 to 18 minutes, with the heads facing down.

  4. Drain the cauliflowers in the same position and serve with White Sauce poured over them.
