Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bring a large pot of water to boil over high
heat. Add the salt and cauliflower, letting it sit for 4 minutes. Butter a
baking dish large enough to fit all your cauliflower florets. Drain
cauliflower and place into baking dish.
Melt butter in a saucepan on medium heat. Add the garlic, chili flakes,
and bay leaf, cooking for approximately 1 minute. Add flour and stir
quickly. Once your mixture is a slightly brown color, about another
minute, slowly incorporate the milk while continuously stirring. Bring
sauce to a boil with occassional stirring.

Notice
As stated in our last newsletter, the amount of cauliflower we have for
Frozen Assets was very limited. Due to this, this week we replaced with
another bag of corn. We will vary the vegetable in place of
cauliflower in the following share distributions. thank you!
Freezing produce allows the vegetables to retain a large amount of their
vitamins and minerals during the preservation process. This allows us to
eat a variety of local produce year round without losing all the benefits of
fresh vegetables. Frozen Assets freezes produce at their peak ripe time,
preserving them at their finest. Canned vegetables contain a lot of added
sodium in order to preserve the produce, by freezing, you eliminate the
added you would have received if you had eaten a canned product
Once boiling, take off of the heat and stir in grated cheese. Add salt and
pepper to taste, incorporating any other ingredients of your liking.
Consider trying lemon zest, dijon mustard, or scallions. Pour mixture
over cauliflower as evenly as possible. Place dish in oven for 30-40
minutes or until the top is brown and bubbly. You can also add
breadcrumbs to the top of your dish for an added texture.
Enjoy as a side dish or with a green salad!
