Cauliflower Gratin
Healthy, because
Even smarter
The hearty mountain cheese not only tastes delicious, but also contains plenty of vitamin A, which we need for normal vision at dusk and dark. It also contains magnesium and B vitamins, which can help us relax in times of stress.
To make the cauliflower casserole a little more colourful, you can either replace part of the cabbage with other vegetables such as carrots, or you can sprinkle the gratinated vegetables with freshly chopped herbs. Chopped nuts also refine the casserole and add unsaturated fatty acids to the gratin.
