Any fun ideas for Cauliflower?

I suggest Ree Drummond's (Food Network's Pioneer Woman) cauliflower soup. It's DELICIOUS, easy, fast, and the recipe makes a big pot - plenty for leftovers. I find myself craving this soup. I made it tonight, actually. I skip the sour cream step, myself. It's rich and yummy without.

I just cook it and drizzle some feta/dill dressing over it on my plate. Delicious and very healthy!

Ever used it in place of potatoes? Makes a good potatoe salad.

Re: Any fun ideas for Cauliflower?

My favorite way is to simply roast it with a small amount of olive oil and chopped garlic

 

cut into flowerets toss with a couple of teaspoons olive oil and some chopped garli, pepper and lay on a foil lined baking pan in single layer.  Bake in 425 oven until slightly brown and soft

Re: Any fun ideas for Cauliflower?

I just made some in the air fryer but you could also pop it into an oven.

 

I dropped the florets I had steamed for a few minutes into an egg wash and then coated them in bread crumbs (I used panko), parmesan and whatever spices you like.

 

Pop it in the oven and roast until brown, very good!

ECBG, does this taste really "mustard-y"? I have had foods with curry in the past & they were overpoweringly "mustard-y". (Is that a word LOL???).

 

It's funny, I like mustard but NOT warm mustard.

 

Thank you!
