The rich, creamy Parmesan cheese sauce is a nice match for subtle cauliflower, and crisp bread crumbs add texture over the couscous.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ head green cabbage, torn into small pieces
4 thin slices pancetta
1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
¼ cup couscous
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
½ tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano
¼ teaspoon sea salt
¼ cup coarsely grated Swiss cheese
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a baking pan.
  • Cover the bottom of the prepared baking pan with cabbage. Arrange pancetta over the cabbage. Top with cauliflower and couscous.
  • Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour. Reduce heat to medium-low; whisk in milk. Cook until mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Whisk in oregano and salt. Add Swiss cheese, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Whisk until smooth. Pour sauce over the cauliflower in the baking pan. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking until cauliflower is tender, about 20 minutes more. Tent with aluminum foil if top is browning too quickly. Transfer gratin to a wire rack; let cool, about 10 minutes.

This gratin is a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try a lighter version next time.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I made this gratin with vegan cheese. It was just as delicious as the original recipe.

This gratin is a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. I always have some leftover after making cauliflower rice, and this is a great way to use it up.

The gratin was a bit runny. I think I should have cooked it for a few more minutes.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

I'm not usually a fan of cauliflower, but this gratin changed my mind. The cauliflower was roasted to perfection and had a slightly caramelized flavor that was delicious. The couscous and parmesan added a nice creamy texture and flavor.
