Cauliflower. No. 4. With Cheese. “Chouxfleurs au Parmesan.” (Cataldi.) Blanch the cauliflowers in salt and water in the usual way; set them on a sieve to draw off all the water; take a small basin and force the heads in, pressing them; add also a very little grated Parmesan cheese. Butter the bottom of the dish in which the cauliflower is to be served, turn the vegetable out on to it, add a little pepper and salt, pour over it some Spanish Sauce (see Sauces for Meat), and grate Parmesan cheese over all. Put little bits of butter over it here and there, about ¼ oz. in all, and bake in the oven. When you have only a few small cauliflowers, blanch them in salt and water as above; drain well on a sieve before the fire, put some little bits of butter over them, season with salt and pepper, grate plenty of Parmesan over them, and brown in the oven. N.B.—Some people who are very fond of cheese put grated Parmesan between each cauliflower, but the usual way is not to put the cheese till the last, and then over all.
