Cauliflower/Broccoli with Cheese

'Brassica oleracea' vegetable family includes cauliflower, cabbage, brussels sprouts, kale, broccoli and collard greens. Very good for you, but unfortunately many of us (especially children) don't like the taste. Maybe this recipe helps, like it did in my household. You can use it for all of above mentioned veggies. Ingredients: 1 small head of broccoli or cauliflower, washed, separated 2-3 tbs water 1/3 teas salt cling wrap to cover (if using microwave) 1/2 small onion, finely chopped 2 tbs sour cream 1 teas mustard (Dijon or German) 3-4 tbs grated cheese (Mozzarella, Tasty) Paprika (optional) for sprinkling Method: Microwave vegetables for 7-9 minutes (spoon water over it,salt it, cover with cling wrap). Drain when cooked. Prepare 'dressing' - Mix onion, sour cream and mustard. Spoon over the top of veggies. Sprinkle with cheese (and paprika) and microwave for 2 minutes more. Alternatively, cook or steam veggies, repeat method with dressing and cheese and put in oven/grill until cheese melts.
