CURRY CAULIFLOWER AND RICE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Toss the cauliflower with 2 tablespoons of the coconut oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet and roast until it starts to brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the cauliflower and set aside.
• Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 tablespoons of the coconut oil and the flour and cook until smooth and bubbly, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the milk and curry powder and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until smooth, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cheese and mix until melted.
• In an 8-by-8-inch casserole dish, layer the rice and then the cauliflower. Pour the curry sauce over the top and gently combine. Toss the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil with the breadcrumbs and a pinch of salt. Top the casserole with the breadcrumbs and bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.

CAULIFLOWER "MAC 'N' CHEESE" CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Toss cauliflower and 1/4 tsp. salt in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pierce plastic with a knife a few times to vent, and microwave on high 10 minutes. Carefully remove plastic and transfer cauliflower to a colander. Let cool to room temperature, then transfer to a large bowl.
• Meanwhile, cook milk, cream cheese, curry powder, mustard, and remaining 1 tsp. salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until smooth, about 4 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Add cauliflower and toss to combine. Add mozzarella and 6 oz. cheddar and toss to combine-mixture should be cool enough so cheese doesn't melt. Transfer cauliflower mixture to freezer-to-oven-safe baking dish or dishes.
• If baking immediately, preheat oven to 350°F. Cover dish with foil and bake casserole until heated through and just beginning to bubble, about 45 minutes for large dish, or about 30 minutes for small dishes. Remove foil and sprinkle cheddar over. Heat broiler and broil until top is browned and bubbling, 2-5 minutes.
• If freezing to bake later, cover dish with an airtight lid or double layer of plastic wrap and freeze up to 3 months. To cook, preheat oven to 350°F. Cover dish with foil and bake casserole 45 minutes for large dish, or 30 minutes for small dishes. Remove foil and stir well with a rubber spatula. Continue to bake, uncovered, until just bubbling and heated through, 10-15 minutes more. Sprinkle cheddar over. Heat broiler and broil until top is browned and bubbling, 2-5 minutes.
• To cook individually portioned frozen casseroles in the microwave, partially cover and microwave on high 4 minutes. Uncover, stir, and microwave at 1-minute intervals until heated through, 4-5 minutes more.
• Top with chives, if using, before serving.
