Sufleu de conopida ( Cauliflower souffle)

Scroll down for English recipe

Cum conopida a inceput sa invadeze pietele, iar noua ne place foarte mult, m-am hotarat sa fac ceva care nu e clasica mancare cu rosii. Si cum prin frigider zacea niste cascaval care se cam uscase, am pregatit repejor acest sufleu de conopida.

 
Ingrediente pentru 3 persoane:

• 500 g conopida, desfacuta in buchetele mici si spalata
• 4 linguri ulei de masline
• 1 ou
• 200 g cascaval, ras pe razatoarea mare
• 200 ml lapte
• 1/2 lingurita nucsoara
• piper dupa gust (cascavalul e deja sarat, asa ca nu mai trebuie sare)
• putin marar pentru ornat

 Mod de preparare:

• Pune conopida intr-o forma de tarta, sau o tavita ce poate fi bagata in cuptor. 

 

• Stropeste conopida cu ulei si presara cu piper. Pune putina apa si baga tava in cuptor pentru 30 minute la 170 C (sau pana ce conopida se inmoaie.
• In acest timp bate bine cu mixerul oul, pana devine o spuma (se pot folosi 2 albusuri in loc de oul intreg).  Adauga laptele si nucsoara si mai bate putin. Amesteca cu o lingura cascavalul.
• Toarna acest amestec peste conopida moale si lasa la cuptorul incins la 170 C cam 15 minute, sau pana ce formeaza o crusta aurie.
• Sufleul de conopida se mananca presarat cu putin marar

English version

Cauliflower is in season now, so it invaded all markets. We like it very much, so I try to have at least once per week in our menu. This time I didn't cook my every-day dish with fresh tomatoes, but an interesting souffle.

Ingredients for 3 persons:

•     500 g cauliflower, divided in small bouquets and washed
•     4 tablespoons olive oil
•     1 egg
•     200 g cheese, grated
•     200 ml milk
•     1 / 2 teaspoon nutmeg
•    black  pepper and salt to taste (if the cheese is already salty, there is no need to add more salt)
•     dill to garnish

 Preparation:

    Put cauliflower in a form of tart, or a tray that can be put in the oven.
    Sprinkle cauliflower with oil and pepper/salt. Add 3 tablespoons of water and put the tray in the oven for 30 minutes at 170 C (or until cauliflower is tender).
    Meanwhile beat the egg until it becomes foamy (you can use 2 egg whites instead of a whole egg). Add milk and nutmeg and mix a bit more. Mix cheese, using a spoon.
    Pour this mixture over the tender cauliflower and put it in the oven for about 15 minutes or until a golden crust is formed.
    Serve the cauliflower souffle sprinkled with dill.

I hope you will like it.
