I'm looking for new ideas for veggies, cauliflower in particular! Right now I just roast it with garlic and lemon juice.. I've seen recipes for cauliflower crusts, fritters, etc.. what are some of your ideas?

deep fried whole cauliflower served on a bed of preserved lemon, almonds, and lemon oil whipped until mayo-like, and topped with lardo and cacao nibs0 -
This might sound a little weird, but I really dig "cauliflower rice." It doesn't taste exactly like rice, but it's really good! Just google cauliflower rice and a bunch of recipes will pop up.0

Hi - I recently saw a recipe a few days ago for yummy Cauliflower fried rice which I want to try - here is the link. http://www.skinnytaste.com/2014/03/cauliflower-fried-rice.html
I have made cauliflower crust pizza before as well and it turned out quite nice - here is the link for that as well.

Hope you enjoy!0 -
I found this one on Pinterest, it had almost a 5 star rating. I'm gonna try it this week.

I've done the cauliflower rice, mash and pizza base. All three are great. Lots of cauliflower rice varieties ; I found a coconut lime cilantro one which is great with thai curries. Google is a great recipe book!0

Just roasted with olive oil is delicious... you can sprinkle a bit of cheese in the last 10 minutes too.
This one was very good too

My favorite and easiest is just mashed cauliflower. Boil one cauliflower until it's very tender, add 3-4 tbsp of cream cheese (45-60g, depending on the size of the cauliflower), salt and pepper, and mash.0 -
When I need a healthy lunch on the go, I cook cauliflower with veggies and philadelphia cheese. It tastes really nice! Or make a cauliflower soup, filling and warm!0

No recipe but we had Mock Mashed Potatoes this week for the first time. We cut up a head of cauliflower, boiled until done. Drained, then added a few Tbsps of Light cream cheese & light margarine, salt & pepper, splash of milk. It was good. I see various recipes online that add Parmesan cheese or garlic as well. The second time we made this we also boiled a big diced potato along with it to help with texture. I topped mine with a few Tbsp of low calorie/low carb gravy & I could easily eat that a lot & I usually don't like cauliflower very well.0

These all sound so good! Thanks you guys!0

Yeah my wife used to smash them up like mashed potatoes. I don't know what she put in it but was awesome. Going to get her to start doing that again.0

These are some of my favorite:
Cauliflower Garlic "Bread": I exclude the top layer of cheese and it's still great!

The cauliflower fried rice is yummy and if you pinterest buffalo cauliflower bites, those are awesome too!
Hope that helps!0 -
One of my family's favorites. My kids ask for it at least 4 times a week:
http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/sauted-chickpeas-with-broccoli-parmesan-10000001875858/
The recipe calls for broccoli, but I sometimes substitute brussel sprouts, and I sometimes substitute cauliflower.0 -
Question: Does the pizza crust have the consistency of bread or is it a whole new taste? I want to try it, but I am a little nervous about the texture.0

I eat cauliflower several times a week (usually) so I'm so glad to see this post! I'm hoping I can get some new cauliflower ideas.
Cauliflower Rice - I make a lot of Indian food and I do not notice much of a difference if it is with a dish that has a gravy or sauce, like Chicken Tikka, Curries, etc. 30 calories a cup really beats the 200 calories in brown rice! I have come across a lot of recipes for different flavored cauliflower rices to eat as sides, but I have yet to try any of them. They look good though!
Cauliflower Mash - It's similar to mashed potatoes but you can use 100% cauliflower or, my preference is to add a little bit of boiled potatoes plus the cauliflower. Then I add garlic, light sour cream, and Parmesan cheese. The calorie count is amazing compared to traditional mashed potatoes.
Cauliflower Pizza Crust - This was actually really yummy! But I have a kitchen aid so I have to admit, when I make pizza I rather make the traditional dough (with yeast and flour) and just roll it out real thin. The cauliflower pizza crust was a little extra work than I wanted because you have to squeeze out the water from the cauliflower.
Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower - This is a DELICIOUS snack. My husband and I both love it. If I ever have an extra head of cauliflower this is what I make with it. Here is the recipe. I use a little less of the oil than the recipe says.

I'm excited to try the cauliflower fried recipe. Thanks to the person who shared it!0 -
Bump to read after work I love cauliflower!!!0

BEST recipe ever. my family eats cauliflower fried rice at least once a week and we fight over left overs. We make it with peppered bacon, a couple eggs, and green onion.

In for yum!0

I use cauliflower in almost any dish that requires rice (broccoli cheese casserole, shrimp jambalaya, fried rice). I've also used it as a substitute for potatoes (mashed potatoes, shepherds pie, potato salad). You can find tons of recipes for these and others on Pinterest.0
