This is an easy but very tasty cauliflower recipe. The fun presentation of a whole cauliflower, first blanched in vegetable stock, then dressed with a creamy tangy turmeric sauce, which can be made ahead of time, and topped with some chopped greens.
|
- Clean and wash the cauliflower, discarding the leaves, and remove about 1 inch of the hard core, making sure the florets don't fall off. Bring a large pot of vegetable broth to a boil. Add in the whole cauliflower and cook, covered, until cauliflower is tender, but not mushy, about 12 minutes.
- Melt butter over low heat in a medium-sized saucepan. Sprinkle in the flour and turmeric powder. Cook for a couple of minutes. Add in the warm vegetable stock and milk. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened. Season with lemon juice, pinch of sugar, salt and pepper to taste.
- Put the whole cauliflower on a warm serving platter. Spoon the sauce over the top and sprinkle with the chopped greens. Serve immediately.

What a good looking idea to serve cauliflower. Instead of making salad you just serve whole with sauce, which sounds delicious ;)

What a beautiful way to serve cauliflower!
I love this! We eat cauliflower all the time but usually the same way - just roasted and mostly plain with some garlic or spices. This sounds so different and delicious!
Delicious looking sauce, it makes this cauliflower bloom :D
Cheers

I love cauliflower, and have never cooked it as a whole head before. The turmeric sauce looks good
Cauliflower is just awesome, there's so much can be done with it as you have shown us :)
What a great & tasty unique idea, Angie! Waw even!
I love the fabulous rich darker yellow turmeric sauce here too! Another must make of course!I am a big fan of cauliflower & turmeric but never combined these 2 together! :) MMMMMM!
I love the whole cauliflower presentation Angie - so elegant and impressive!
That looks so pretty, Angie. I love the flavors...cauliflower is one of my favorite veggies!
Cauliflower and turmeric are good partners. Love this healthy dish.
I'm such a cauliflower head! (SERIOUSLY, NO pun intended! HA!) This looks soooo good! I just want to eat it al!
Must be fun to enjoy this together with families and friends, especially they are vegetarians : ). Love your idea, Angie!
I've never thought of serving the whole cauliflower on the table like this. Looks so pretty indeed.
Very cool way to present and eat cauliflower all whole. It is beautiful. The turmeric sounds great too and the color work so well here. Have a great weekend Angie.
Interesting! A fabulous dish for a dinner party. Instead of the usual vegetables in a dish, this will be very pretty! Have a good weekend!
Such a beautiful presentation, Angie! Huge fan of cauliflower, here :)
this is a fun way to serve cauliflower
I love cauliflower and this looks wonderful, Angie. Turmeric is such a great spice and I should use more of it!
Wow, what a great idea to serve a whole cauliflower.... classic! And turmeric is very nutritious too!
I'm trying to incorporate more turmeric into my food preparation- I've heard it's a great anti-inflammatory. This looks good! :)
really,really delicious dear Angie:))
This dish could really help to make me a lover of cauliflower! What an awesome presentation and that sauce is quite decadent.
I have never thought of serving cauliflower this way. This is so stunning!
Cauliflower is one of my favourite veg because you can do so much with it. But since I have been turning it into mash and rice and all sorts I have forgotten about just eating it plain. Love this recipe with all that healthy tumeric! Thanks for the inspiration.
Annie , what a delightful way to serve this wonderful veggie ! The turmeric sauce sounds wonderful and I'm sure pairs well with cauliflower :)
I love easy recipes, especially with my busy schedule! This is a fun recipe, that sounds delicious! Hugs, Terra
That's a really pretty way to serve cauliflower! I love how easy it is to put together:D
This soup must be really tasty! I imagine the smell of it already...great!
Interesting Angie! This is so new to me, but I know how your cooking is, so I'll try cooking it soon. Lovely clicks as always :)
Brilliant idea Angie :)
Looks yummy
I never though I'd want to call cauliflower stunning before, but that is exactly what this is! Really pretty and that sauce sounds awesome!
I was planning to roast cauliflower with turmeric and curry powder next. I may have a new idea now!
I never cooked cauliflower this way, sounds delicious!
Such a fun recipe and fun photos! I did a whole cauliflower once too, a few posts back on my blog you might still be able to see it. I roasted it instead so the outside got all caramelised and brown and yummy, but I would love to try your version too! Or even combine the two- roast cauliflower with that gorgeous golden turmeric sauce you have! Yum!
I love how cauliflower is such a blank pallet and you have turned it into a lovely one Angie!
My mum used to make whole cauliflower although i have never given it a try. Your post inspires me to do that.
This has got to be one of the prettiest cauliflower presentations I've seen. It sure beets the cocoa roasted cauliflower I made recently.
Oh what a beautiful dish, Angie! I really love cauliflower but am often looking for ways to jazz it up! This turmeric sauce definitely does just that! : )
Really love, love that sauce, Angie! I'm starting to use turmeric with mu vegetables and I love the colour they get.
I think a whole cauliflower looks so impressive and the turmeric sauce sounds so good.
What a neat idea! I've never seen a whole cauliflower plated before. Will have to try this sometime.
What a great presentation. I've been experimenting with roasting cauliflower and you have just inspired me to roast the whole darn head!
G
What a gorgeous presentation Angie! The turmeric sauce sounds like a delicious match for it! I would be perfectly happy just eating this for dinner.
That's another lovely presentation. I bet you could convince anyone to eat more veges with the way your food is plated.
Thats's awesome! Cauliflowers are so expensive here at the moment. $6 each. Argh.
Cauliflower is a "staple" at our house and you've just given me a great recipe to try. So healthy!! XOXO
Look at that gorgeous, bright and happy yellow color on top of the cauliflower. Simply Stunning!
This looks delicious, a nice different way of serving cauliflower..
I think this recipe looks and sounds amazing! Beautiful presentation.
I just picked up a head of cauliflower and turmeric root at the store yesterday! This is fabulous!
Well that looks amazing!!!
This is such a beautiful presentation idea. Thank you so much: inspiring, really.
Cauliflower and Indian spices are wonderful together, and I love the gorgeous tumeric color!
Turmeric is so good for us and I don't use it often enough. This sounds so good!
What a lovely sauce to accompany this often overlooked veggie..will have to try this very soon, Angie!
Very clever and such a fantastic presentation without having to put in much effort.
I love the idea of serving cauliflower as a whole...and turmeric sauce just sounds and looks delicious.
Have a wonderful week Angie :D
I have tried an Indian dish where the cauliflower is served whole too (think the dish is called Cauliflower MOussaka or something?) and it was so delicious! At that time, I wondered if the entire cauliflower was steamed-roasted in the oven but I think cooking it in a broth sounds good too esp with turmeric sauce.
You have used two foods that I've been trying to incorporate into my diet more often. The contrast between the sauce and snowy white cauliflower is wonderful.
I bet the sauce goes really well with the cauliflower. Looks cheerful and yummy.
so beautiful! I love cauliflower with turmeric. I usually roast the florets instead. I gotta try this one when I have guest over. This looks so elegant and would make a wonderful centerpiece.
The color of the sauce is simply amazing!
Angie,
Love cauliflower, sometimes I do it in the oven !
Really fantastic this idea of yours, I loved the presentation !
Cheers,
i recently saw a post on pinterst about spicy whole roasted cauliflower and thought to myself that is interesting and now you are presenting me with this awesome number ! I think this means I need to go get cauliflower! LOL!
What a cool way to serve this awesome, yet underrated dessert. It's a perfect 'steak' replacement for vegans!
Um,er...just realized that I called cauliflower a dessert and not a vegetable. I would love nothing more than to blame auto correct but sadly, I don't think I can.
This reminds me of a cake, but much better for me, huh. Love the presentation of this.
-Gina-
Just looking at these beautiful colors makes my mouth water!
Cauliflower is one of my favorite winter veggies and this recipe is going to make it to our table soon.
Super!! I never tried with whole cauliflower. Your looks like a whole chicken out of the over!! yummy!!!
Cauliflower is under appreciated. It is a totally cool and versatle vegetable. I love what you did with this whole caulflower. Nice!
A very unique, healthy and delicious way to enjoy cauliflower!! Love the turmeric sauce here my friend :)
Pinned!!
This is one of the coolest ways I've ever seen to do cauliflower.
wow, never cook whole cauliflower before, i guess i'm gonna try this with tiny cauliflower....
the turmeric sauce looks adorable and sounds tasty!!!
Adoro a coliflor.
Un saludito
I love cauliflower in general but that turmeric sauce really makes it stand out! Yum!
this whole cauliflower recipe is quite unique!
Such a pretty and tasty way to dress up a cauliflower.
Looks tasty. I think cauliflower is the next IT veggie. I am roasting some right now.
My husband was just asking me about a recipe for whole cooked cauliflower - how cool! The sauce is a beautiful color and I bet it tastes amazing. Lovely!
Awesome Cauliflower recipe looks so delicious with the Turmeric sauce. Wish I found this blog sooner. Thanks Angie
My husband and I just adore cauliflower and need to learn more ways to prepare it other than simply steaming it! Turmeric is such a healthy spice to amp up the health benefits of this recipe! Beautiful color!
I haven't yet jumped on the whole cauliflower bandwagon (but I have been dying too!!). I have only seem them roasted whole so far, but I love the idea of blanching them. The turmeric sauce sounds absolutely divine.
