What to do with Cauliflower?
Hi all!
I've got about a kilo's worth of Cauliflower in the fridge and I'm not sure what to do with them. I was originally going to make Aloo Gobi ; it's a North Indian dish with potatoes and Cauliflower but I'm not allowed to have potatoes anymore (PT's orders) so I'm kind of stumped.
Any ideas?

Get 1 lb 99% lean jennie-o ground turkey. Brown it. Season with a little lawrys/sea salt, italian seasoning, pepper, garlic powder. All to taste. Split into equal 4 servings.
To ONE serving add:
1 Cup brown rice
1 cup steamed cauliflower
1/2 cup sliced up brussels
Bet your bottom you will be so full you cant finish, and you will love it....and its only around 370 calories. Packed with protein.
Boom. MMMMMM.0 -

You could make Mashed Cauliflower.
Just boil it, mash it with a bit of cream and maybe some butter (by hand, in a blender or with one of those stick blender things), and eat it in stead of mashed potatoes.
My mom does lowcarb so we make this whenever a dish would normally have potatoes if we feel like it... Sometimes we use broccoli or a cauliflower broccoli mix in stead.0 -
Roast it! Fresh garlic, salt, pepper and extra virgin olive oil. I can eat that all day every day!0

To be fair, she's letting me eat peanut butter after working out so I'm okay with giving up potatoes

Love it!
i either roast it or boil it and mash, then smother with any kid of meaty sauce...like Italian meat sauce or chili con carne, anything hearty.
Some folks have even boiled, mashed and added an egg...... to then shape into a "pizza crust". Bake it up a bit, then top with anything you'd put on a pizza.
I love the idea of chicken curry on top as well!0 -
This sounds really good. I'll try doing that.Roast it! Fresh garlic, salt, pepper and extra virgin olive oil. I can eat that all day every day!0 -
Loving all the suggestions! I haven't experimented with cauliflower very much so this is wonderful!0

Could you make the Aloo Gobi with just cauliflower? I've not had it before so don't know how the texture of the potatoes affects the dish.0

cut it into florets, pulse in food processor till size of rice. Melt about 5 tablespoons of butter, add the cauliflower and cook till looks a bit like fried rice. Add whatever you want, bacon, onion, egg.....it is yummy!!!0

Yes, it is so good roasted! My hubby does it with olive oil, salt, pepper, and with some red pepper flakes added, and it is wonderful - sweet and spicy. Let it roast in the oven long enough to start getting a little brown and caramelized, it ends up so good. Never been a huge cauliflower fan, but I love it this way.0 -
I could.. It's like a dry curry but I'm not sure if DH and BIL would eat it and I don't really want to be stuck eating the whole dish by myself. Or I could add sweet potato in it instead of regular potato.Could you make the Aloo Gobi with just cauliflower? I've not had it before so don't know how the texture of the potatoes affects the dish.
I really like all the other suggestions as well! Looks like cauliflower will take different forms in this house 0 -
Love cauliflower!
all great ideas I need to try.
I usually just steam it and slather in cheese sauce.
Or eat it raw with low fat ranch dressing0 -
I just made mashed cauliflower last night. Yummy.

Make Cauliflower rice. Take entire head and rub it on a cheese grater it makes it look like rice and has the same type of texture, add a little water and steam it for a few minutes just to soften it. Eat it as you would any other type of rice.

Steam it with a tiny bit of butter and Mrs. Dash seasoning.0

* Baked or dehydrated Cauliflower poppers (like popcorn)
* Roasted Cream of Cauliflower Soup
* Cauliflower Gratin
* Slightly boiled/steamed with red wine vinegar
* Pickle them
* Puree after boiling/steaming/roasting sauce
* You can make patties/fritters/balls/cakes
* And you can still make Aloo Gobi and find a substitute for the potatoes or just have it as is.0 -
One of two things:
Cauliflower Mash (OH YUM)
1 - head of cauliflower (medium sized)
1 cup of Fagi 0% yogurt
Little Sea Salt
Black Pepper
Garlic powder
I can't believe it's not butter spray (optional - or use a smidge of real butter...it's for the flavor)
Chop head of cauliflower into small pieces and put into 3-4 quart pot with lid; add 1/4-1/3 cup of water for steam
Add a little salt, pepper, garlic
Steam just until tender
Add to a blender a little at a time (or if you have an immersion blender, puree it in the pot
Add in the yogurt and a touch of I can't believe it's not butter
Puree, taste (add additional salt to taste)
YUMMY
Depending on the size of the cauliflower, this generally makes 4 cups
1 cups serving is 69 calories, with 10 carbs, 9 protein, 4 fiber and 10 calcium
The other thing I've seen on here and heard great reviews on...I've yet to try it is cauliflower bread:
Put the whole of one cauliflower, (everything but the leaves) in the food processor, with 5 eggs.
Use Pam on the sheet pan and spread it our on the pan.
350 degrees for about 30 minutes, and then at 275 for like 10 or 20 more. i waited for the edges to peel up on their own.
Test for to see if it is done by the firmness in the middle.
The bread itself totals 560 calories. (about 4 normal sized sandwiches)0
