I have a wealth of cauliflower salads on this blog but I can’t stop making them. This might be the best one yet. The combination o f sweet and slightly acidic pomegranate with the golden, salty haloumi and crispy cauliflower is so delicious. This is definitely the type of salad I’d make when having friends over. Or add some grilled chicken breast and a little quinoa for a heartier meal.
7 Ways With: Cauliflower
Today marks the beginning of a new post adventure on my blog. Yep, I just said ‘post adventure’, sorry. I’m going to do a series for the next couple of months called ‘7 Ways With’, each week I’ll highlight a seasonal ingredient and give you 7 different ways to use it. My main aim here is to help you cut down on food waste, and make use of what you have in your kitchen.
Cauliflower and Thyme Carbonara
I’m totally aware that I did another cauliflower recipe very recently, but I love cauliflower and when I’m testing recipes I tend to test recipes with similar ingredients at the same time, that way there’s less food waste and you know I’m all about that. So we have another delicious cauliflower recipe!
Cauliflower Melts
Open faced sandwiches topped with crispy cauliflower and a creamy, cheesy sauce, what could be better? How about if I told you that creamy luscious looking sauce is made from cauliflower too? So much vegetable goodness in each bite.
Indian Spiced Cauliflower Tacos
This is fusion food, which I know, is not always a great idea. But crispy stir fried cauliflower flavoured with turmeric and garam masala in little roti bread or flour tortilla wraps… what’s not to like?!
Cauliflower and Potato Vegan Massaman Curry
This easy curry is so delicious and full of flavour, you won’t miss the meat at all. It includes the recipe for a simplified vegan massaman curry paste, but you could always buy one.
Cauliflower and Hummus Pita Pockets
It’s the time of the year for easy wraps and portable food like these delicious pita pockets. They’re quick to make, and super tasty. Plus they’re full of vegetables to help you up your intake in case that’s one of your new years resolutions!
Cauliflower and Chickpea Baked Eggs
These eggs are so creamy and indulgent tasting but they’re actually full of vegetables, fibre and protein. Baked eggs without the tomato factor make for such a nice change. They’re also a great way of using up any leftover cauliflower you have around.
GREEN CAULIFLOWER FRIED ‘RICE’
I know cauliflower rice is not new at all. I even have a recipe for it on the blog. But this is so much better than that recipe. Because it has broccoli too. And crispy bits. And cashews. And is easier and I’m sorry it took me so long to figure this out. You can thank this whole no grains thing I’m having to do for forcing me to find THE BEST way of making a vegetable based ‘rice type thing’. An here we are…
MISO SESAME ROASTED CAULIFLOWER AND PUMPKIN GRAIN SALAD
Yum yum yum! This salad is warm, and comforting and full of flavour. It’s also loaded with vegetables and totally winter appropriate. The crunchy toasted coconut, crispy bits of roast cauliflower and caramelised pumpkin are a killer combo. Especially with miso and sesame paste coating it all. Yes, yes, yes.
