Cauliflower Gratin

• 1 head of cauliflower
• t leeks
• t small onion
• t cup cashew butter (you can find it at Whole Foods or your local co-op)
• t-3 cups of veggie broth** (more or less depending on how creamy you like it)
• 2 tbsp. nutritional yeast (for the cheesy, yeasty flavor)
• 1 tsp. fresh thyme leaves (dried will work too)
• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 1/2 tsp. salt (to taste)
• 1/2 tsp. pepper (to taste)
• 1/2 loaf day-old hard bread

1. 1.treheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. 2.tut enough water in the large steaming pot to steam cauliflower and bring to a boil (about 1 quart). Chop cauliflower in bite-size pieces. When water boils, put in cauliflower to steam. Cauliflower should only steam until it is al dente (i.e. it should be more hard than soft). Remove and place in casserole dish.
3. 3.thop onion and leeks. In the medium saucepan, heat olive oil. When oil is hot, saute leeks and onion on medium high for 5-7 minutes, then reduce heat to low/simmer for about 30 minutes or until caramelized (they should taste sweet).
4. 4.thile leeks and onion simmer, blend cashew butter, nutritional yeast, veggie broth, thyme, salt and pepper. The consistency should be creamy so if you need to add more veggie broth to thin it out, do so. And if you like it "cheesier," add more nutritional yeast.
5. 5.then the leeks and onions are caramelized, mix them in with the cauliflower (should be distributed evenly).
6. 6.tour cashew cream sauce over cauliflower. Make sure you cover it with the sauce (this will allow the cauliflower to soak up as cream sauce as possible).
7. 7.tlean food processor. Add bread and process. Sprinkle over the cauliflower and cream.
8. 8.take gratin at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until cauliflower is soft (not too soft), the cream is bubbling and the breadcrumbs are browned.
9. 9.tet cool for 15 minutes.
10. 10.tevour!
