Cauliflowers and Leeks

Cauliflowers and leeks are vegetables that most people would not generally associate with Greece. However during the winter months the market stalls are burgeoning with both these rather underated vegetables.
Leeks  (prassa) in Greece are used in pies (pittas) and often replace onions.
I tend to use them in hearty vegetable soups and in English style casseroles.
The cauliflwers are so fresh here, you rarely get that rather pungent smell after cooking.
Effi , who runs our lcal deli , told me she bakes cauliflower, cut into pieces with onions , garlic herbs ,tomatoes  and olive oil in the oven.
Most Greeks boil it and serve it as a winter salad dressed with olive oil and lemon juice.
My greek husband just loves english style cauliflower cheese.
