Roasted Curried Cauliflower
My friend Kate got me a tad obsessed with cauliflower. It’s a great vegetable to have on hand since it is so hearty. I pair it with a simple short grain brown rice.
Head of cauliflower, sliced.
A glug of Olive Oil
Sea Salt
Toss the above together, lay flat on a pan and then throw into a preheated oven (425).
Flip them after 10 minutes. They will be done in 20. There is nothing worse than mushy vegetables so make sure you don’t forget about them in there. These cook a lot quicker than one might think.
Brown Rice
Nutritional Yeast
Sliced Garlic (or onion)
Sea Salt
Bay Leaf
Olive Oil
Chicken Broth
For the rice, I saute garlic or onion in the olive oil. Sometimes I put red pepper flakes in there, too. Then I put the broth, salt and nutritional yeast* in and bring to a boil. Add the rice and cover on a low heat for 45 minutes. I set a timer for 20 minutes so I know when to put the cauliflower in.
*The nutritional yeast, another Kate-ism, is a great dairy substitute. Despite my innate love for cheese, I’ve come to realize my body isn’t so into it. When you cook it in the rice, it gives the same texture you get in mac and cheese.
The whole reason I started blogging years ago was to document things I cooked. Hold on to your forks, I’m bringing it back.
