What to Serve with Cauliflower Gratin?

Tonight, I really want to make an awesome dish from "Cook's Illustrated" called "Cauliflower Gratin with Gruyere and Leeks." What should I serve with this as a main course, to compliment it and round out the meal? We eat meat, and that's what I'd prefer to have... any suggestions? Thanks, and I promise, I will pick a best answer! All the best!What to Serve with Cauliflower Gratin?
This makes me think of scalloped potatoes, so my obvious choice is ham. We are a small family of three so I generally buy 2 steaks, enough for leftovers. Generally I lay a piece of tin foil on the counter, sprinkle on about 2 tbsp. of brown sugar, lay 1 steak on it, then spread a a thin schmear of a mixture of equal parts mustard and brown sugar, top with the other ham and sprinkle with about 2 tbsp. more brown sugar. Tightly close the ham steaks with more foil and bake for about 1/2 hour on 350. My mother is always on a low carb diet, so she has made something similar. It is really rich and has the same effect as a potato on your belly. I would suggest a green salad on the side. Perhaps with some type of nut with it instead of more cheese.
How about pork chops and a good bread.You recipe sounds wonderful!!! Chicken would be good also.What to Serve with Cauliflower Gratin?
makes me want lamb chops-grilled or glazed duck breastWhat to Serve with Cauliflower Gratin?
I think I would have beef. Chicken, fish, or pork will all be pale on the plate sitting next to pale cauliflower gratin. So maybe a London Broil, Salisbury Steaks, Seven Steaks, or even Rib-Eye Steaks.



I'd also do another side dish w/ some color: carrots, asparagus, squash %26amp; zucchini medley, beets, or even a big green salad w/ lots of fresh stuff in it.



Those Cooks Illustrated recipes are the best, aren't they?!
Sounds sooooo yummy with lamb chops grilled like raroo99 said.......can I come??? LOL



EDIT: yes could you add it to your question???? I'd love to try it too.
Sounds awesome! I'd just do a salad and some reeeally good bread. It sounds a little heavy, so I don't think I'd want meat with it-- I'd let the cauliflower be the main attraction .. (you should put the recipe for the gratin in with your question!- i'd love to make it!!)
If you like mild garlic.. I would suggest a simple Garlic roasted chicken, or if you want to go a little more rich Prime rib or Rack of Lamb.
That sounds amazing...mmm...

Seems very versatile鈥? either fried chicken or a nice steak with broccoli or asparagus on the side... depending on casual meal or a nice dinner...

Good find! I'll be making that!
