Healthy, because
In contrast to some relatives, cauliflower is easily digestible and does not burden the digestion too much. The secondary plant substance sulforaphane from the cauliflower also protects the cells from damage by free radicals and can even prevent the development of cancer. Gouda gives the potato gratin with cauliflower a hearty finish and scores with bone-strengthening calcium.
Even smarter
For more colour variety, you can also prepare this potato gratin with broccoli instead of cauliflower! The cabbage vegetables are even finer and also harmonise perfectly with the potatoes.
