Tip

This is a fabulous way to hide cauliflower in a dish for children. The consistency when cooked is very similar to a beef bolognaise, but is of course beef free. My children had no idea when they first tried this just what it was, but they enjoyed it and all asked for more!

Picture to come....if they'll wait long enough!!

    This was easy, tasty and a great way to use up a whole cauliflower I chopped half a cauliflower at a time. I added a bay leaf and anchovies but not sure if it really added anything extra to the bolognese. Will will try adding carrot next time.
