Surprising Cauliflower

I despise cauliflower. I can't help it, I always have had an aversion to it. I try to like it.  At parties I eat the broccoli and cauiflower.  Growing up I would always eat it if there was cheese covering it.  But really, not my cup of tea.

Until today.

See, I found the best recipe ever.  I am now converted.  I want some more!

I found the most amazing recipe on Country Living, and am going to share it with you!


What You Need:
  • 1 head cauliflower florets separated into 2-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cumin seeds, lightly crushed 
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar (I didn't have sherry vinegar, so I used rice vinegar)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
What To Do:
pre-heat oven to 425*.  Place cauliflower in a large roasting pan and toss with oil, salt, pepper, and cumin seeds.  Roast until florets are tender and lightly
golden 30-40 minutes (20 minutes was sufficient for mine).  Meanwhile, met butter in a small pan over medium heat and continue to cook until golden brown.  Sprinkle with vinegar and pepper.  Transfer the cauliflower to a serving dish and toss with the brown butter and parsley.  Serve immediately.

Absolutely surprising.  The cumin seeds and vinegar really give it a pop of flavor while roasting it mellows out the flavor.  Wow, I am even salivating just thinking about it now.  Wow.

Buen Provecho!

Aside from just eating it raw, roasted cauliflower is my absolute favorite! I'm bookmarking this for when cauliflower isn't costing €2.50 a head *L*

So when I was at the raw food meetup here in San Antonio, someone made this really good cauliflower pate. I feel the same about you about cauliflower normally so I was surprised that it was in my top 3 of the food brought that night!
Also I discovered that a lot of cooked vegan meals can be turned into a raw meal. Like Tam's lettuce wraps for example. Way good! You might consider trying it out sometime. :)
