To the cauliflower casserole you can serve jacket potatoes or a colourful salad. It is also possible to bake raw, thinly sliced potatoes in the casserole. If you like it crunchy, you can sprinkle 3 tbsp. of pine nuts over the gratin. Another variation is to add garlic together with onions to the casserole. Not only low-carb fans will love this recipe.
