Corn and Cauliflower Casserole (dairy)

Contributed by Eileen Goltz.

3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 cups thinly sliced fresh cauliflower
1 small sweet onion, chopped
1-1/2 cups fresh corn
1 small sweet red pepper, chopped
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup white wine
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded mozzarella or Swiss cheese

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350. In a bowl combine the flour, salt, garlic powder and pepper and set aside. In a greased 8-in. square baking dish, layer cauliflower and onion. Sprinkle with flour mixture. Top with corn and red pepper. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley; dot with butter. Combine milk and wine and pour the mixture over the vegetables. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover; bake 15 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender. 

Special InstructionsCauliflower and Insect Infestation:

Thrips may be found on the thin white branches or between the tightly packed cauliflower florets. These insects are easily discernible as their black color contrasts with the white vegetable. Small orange insects may at times be seen clinging to the outside of the cauliflower. These insects are easily washed off.

Inspection:
1. Separate and remove cauliflower florets from the stem
2. Examine several pieces of the cauliflower paying careful attention to the under part of the floret
3. Wash thoroughly before using.
4. Heads of cauliflower that are found to be infested are difficult to clean and should not be used

Parsley and Insect Inspection

Fresh parsley (as well as the following herbs: basil, cilantro, dill, mint, oregano, rosemary, sage and thyme) are often used as spices or garnishing. Aphids, thrips and other insects may often be found on the leaves and stems of these herbs. Insects tend to nestle in the crevices between the leaves and branches of herbs. These insects can curl up and stick to the leaf once they come in contact with water.

Please Note:
Curly leaf parsley is very difficult to check. It is therefore recommended that only flat leaf parsley be used.
Vegetable spinners, power hoses, and light boxes are not always available in the home. We therefore recommend the following alternate procedure.

1. Soak herbs in a solution of cold water and vegetable wash. The proper amount of vegetable wash has been added when some bubbles are observed in the water. (In the absence of vegetable wash, several drops of concentrated non-scented liquid detergent may be used. However, for health reasons, thoroughly rinse off the soapy solution.)
2. Agitate the herbs in the soapy water, in order to loosen the sticking excretion of the bugs.
3. Using a heavy stream of water, thoroughly wash off the soap and other foreign matter from the herbs.
4. Check both sides of each leaf under direct light.
5. If one or two insects are found, rewash the herbs.
6. If any insects are found after repeating the agitation process twice, the entire bunch must be discarded.

>Notes: For fresh cauliflower and parsley tend to be infested with insects. Please check "Special Instructions" below for details of insect inspection.
