This is the perfect bed for any grilled fish. Of course, my number one is salmon because it is not over powered by the earthy flavor of the cauliflower. Great the next day added to a mixed green salad with the left over fish. Simply puree it and make a fast no-cream creamy soup.

    Wow, this dish is truly delicious. We had a party of six over for dinner and everyone raved about it. I cooked it without celery and with yellow onion instead of shallots. I also put in some extra olive oil, probably at least another tablespoon or two, as it seemed a little dry without that. I also added salt liberally as the cauliflower absorbs it. Final note, I sauteed this about 10 minutes to get the cauliflower to my desired softness. Another benefit was that the extra cooking somewhat carmelized the onions and mushrooms, giving off a wonderful smell and giving the dish a great flavor. We served it with Salmon seasoned only with Lemon pepper and broiled. A fantastic dish which I'll cook again many times in the future. Thanks for sharing Yvonne!

      What a great vegetable side dish. Plenty of flavor but not overpowering. Thanks for sharing!

        We enjoyed this dish as a side to grilled lamb and salmon. It provided a flavorful, hearty side that would stand on its own. Carmelizing the onions and browning the cauliflower accentuates the flavors.

        If you're not fond of mushrooms you might consider substituting black or calamatta olives and having to a little less salt as a result. We've done this with other cauliflower dishes and the black of the olives also offers a nice color contrast to the dish.

        Excellent! A new favorite. Thanks for sharing!

          Awesome - used for Yvonne's Salmon recipe, but could see this as a bed for lots of dishes. Replaced the mushrooms with olives as suggested by Yvette below and had great results. Highly recommend.

            I made this for dinner this evening. Based on feedback from others, I too added an additional 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil. I also liberally sprinkled sea salt and a few splashes of lemon juice to brighten the flavors. I too cooked it for 10+ minutes to my desired doneness for the cauliflower. Served it with Yvonne's salmon recipe (on this site). It was delicious. A keeper! Thanks!

              Good. Added spinach for a little extra. Also, that made A LOT - those must be some hungry 4 people. So we did lots of not adding the whole amounts of the ingredients. And I also accidentally grabbed baby portabellos. All was good. Will be adding this to the go to recipe box.
