Eating ...

Our CSA box brings us cauliflower frequently. D used to be skeptical (albino broccoli!) but he's been converted. I only ever roast it. I know - I'm boring. At least I mix up the seasoning sometimes.

Over the weekend, I tossed a head of cauliflower and a couple chopped potatoes with some olive oil and a few spoonfuls of cumin, turmeric, coriander, sea salt and a dash of cayenne. Roasted at 400 degrees until tender. Probably 30 - 45 minutes, but I honestly can't tell you because I was doing other stuff the whole time.

"four phrases" napkins
{cauliflower + potatoes, roasted}

Other stuff like hand printing napkins. The one above is a teeny tiny sneak peek at a set that I've been planning to introduce to the shop for the last six months. Have had all the supplies for the last three months. Finally got some printed over the weekend. Hopefully it won't be another three months before I manage to get them listed.

  1. My mom steams broccoli and then puts it in the blender with butter and (I think) a splash of milk or cream. Salt, pepper... No kidding, it tastes almost exactly like mashed potatoes! I think it's a recipe from the South Beach Diet or something. Whatever, it's really delicious!

  2. Try this..so yummy! http://www.elleinadspir.com/2010/04/food-glorious-food-part-3.html. It's my fav way to use cauliflower. You can make it with or without the chicken.

  3. Do you ever make mashed cauliflower? Oh my goodness...with enough butter, it's like mashed potatoes, but more delicate. It's delicious.

  6. in the last year we've gotten a lot of mileage out of a food network feta and cauliflower frittata recipe - with a bit of pimenton thrown in at the end, it's a perfect, easy dinner. can't wait to see more of your napkins - big ups on how you've styled the one here!

  11. I made this cauliflower recipe for Thanksgiving last year - it's a little finicky for a roasted vegetable recipe, but outrageously delicious. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/11/dining/112srex.html

  19. WOMAN, that's PHOOL GOBI! Like, my favorite masala dish up here in the Himalizzles! If you want to make it even more Indian, get a saute pan all hot and oily and throw in a ton of diced onion, chopped tomats, finely chopped ginger, and then throw in your roasted cauli and taters at the end. HEAVEN. And the napkins couldn't be cuter.

  20. You should try making your cauliflower into a gratin sometime... add a little nutmeg and a greyere cheese sauce and you're good to go! Trust me, it's decadent and so, so delicious. You won't regret it.
