What To Do With Cauliflower

Ever wonder what to do with cauliflower? You know, that nice looking white vegetable that looks a little like broccoli [not that any knows what to do with broccoli]. My father in law used to steam cauliflower whole. When he was done, it looked like something out of a bad horror movie, sort of like the brain that Igor stole for Dr. Frankenstein. On top of that it had no taste whatsoever. Consequently, I invented the following recipe because I cannot resist buying the cauliflower at the organic food store.

  • Break the head into small flowerets.
  • Steam [this takes no time]
  • Sauté 2 good sized onions in olive oil and butter and while sautéing sprinkle generously with curry [any kind of curry works, hot or sweet, it just depends on your taste].
  • Add the cauliflower to the onions and mix well and at the same time stir in 2 heaping table spoons of sour cream [plain yogurt works well too]
  • Add some more curry to the mix and you are done.

This recipe also works with potatoes. Curry is a great ingredient if you are looking to add some zest to otherwise dull foods. I add curry to tuna salad when making a sandwich [especially good with pickles].
