Cauliflower Casserole
Half of 1 small head of Cauliflower, stems leaves peeled off, florets separated
4 cups water with salt
1-2 green onions, cut in small pieces

Sauce:
1/2 cup plain Turkish yogurt
2 tbsp flour, all purpose
1 egg yolk
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Garnish:

One hand full shredded Mozzarella cheese

Boil the florets for about 2 minutes in the water with salt in a medium sized pot. Drain and place them in an oven dish with the onion.

Whisk the all sauce ingredients in a small bowl, pour over the florets. Sprinkle the shredded cheese and red peppers on top.

Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). Place the dish on the middle rack of the oven. Cook until the top is a light golden colour.

Hi,
Yes, it is a very yummy dish:) Pasta in the Oven cooked with bechamel sauce + eggs, so the sauce that I use with this dish is not the bechamel sauce:)

Hi,
The cooking time for cauliflower is not only 2 minutes. The cooking will go on cooking in the oven:)

Hi, I'm new to your website and to Turkish cooking. Have a Turkish dinner to go to this week and need to know where to purchase Turkish yogurt in Billings, MT.
Thank you,

Hi,
You can use any kind of plain yogurt instead of Turkish yogurt. I would suggest you not to use low-fat yogurt.

Hi Binnur,
Thank you for your site and all your wonderful recipes. I have a question about the "Turkish red pepper, powder" in the Firinda Karnabahar -- is that Aleppo pepper powder? or is there some other specific pepper name I could look for?
Thanks so much!
Jean

Thank you Jean! Aleppo pepper has some heat. So paprika is just fine
for this recipe:)
Take care,
Binnur
