Submitted by Tovi Ostroviak ’95, mother of Daniel (2B) and Mia (KB).

This quick and easy vegetable recipe is perfect for Passover or any time.

Savory Cauliflower (from Liat Rave)
Place one whole head of cauliflower in a plastic bag, pierce bag with 4 holes, seal or tie bag and microwave for 10 minutes.
Remove cauliflower from bag and place it in an aluminum pan or Pyrex dish. Coat cauliflower with 1-2 tablespoons of mayonnaise – enough to cover the whole cauliflower. Sprinkle top and sides of cauliflower with Osem onion soup and seasoning mix (approx 2-3 teaspoons). Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Check on it periodically until it is golden brown. It will be soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Delicious.


This recipe for spring vegetables can also be used for Passover for those who eat kitniyot.
