Roasted Cauliflower Paprikash

Roasted Cauliflower Paprikash is my  recipe of the day with  the  Improv Cooking  Challenge blogging  group. We post monthly on topics that include two ingredients.

We  use our creativity to come up  with something delicious for those in one recipe. The topic this month is cauliflower and paprika. I used  my  recipe for chicken paprikash as a base to  jump from.  And  roasted up cauliflower in the oven to use instead of chicken in this version of the creamy  classic.

The paprikash is great served over egg noodles for a comforting homestyle supper. Besides being a great vegetarian entree, it can make a delish side dish.

Because the result is a vegetarian or almost-vegetarian (if you use chicken broth), and vegan if you use vegan alternatives for things like wine and sour cream.
