Cauliflower recipes?

[cocomamba]

Can you give me some recipes tht use cauliflower? I have a whole head but dont know what to do with itthat would make it yummy

[GoodCat]

Honestly.... I love cauliflower just dipped in guacamole... I also eat it with a little tomato sauce over them.. You could make a nut cheese and coat them with it and dehydrate them for a few hours... Yummy.

If you're okay with nutiritional yeast, you could make green cauliflower popcorn -- or my fave, cauliflower rawritos!

Here's a thread about it:

Here's one of our all-time-favorite salads using cauli:

I made it 2 nights ago. So delicious! Here's the recipe tweaked for our tastes:

Spanish Rice - Paul Nison

1 head of cauliflower, grated in a food processor
4 green onions, diced (can use sweet onions)
2 tomatoes, diced (I add more tomato)
1 orange bell pepper, diced
½ - 1 jalapeno pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup cilantro diced
1 avocado mashed in (I blend this in the food processor and then stir in)
1 teaspoon chili powder (I double this)
1 tablespoon paprika (I double this - makes it all a beautiful red color)
½ to 1 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
1 tablespoon cold pressed extra virgin olive oil (can omit)
2-3 tsp ground cumin (to taste)

Mix together well and serve. As a side dish, serves four.

Deb this looks AMAZING! Do you process with the "S" blade or do you use the shredding disc?

Hi qwerty - Do try this, it's AMAZINGLY good!! This is probably my huband's favorite. I do put in a lot more than 2 tomatoes. But, I admit to being a tomatoho. ;)

I pulse the (chopped up a bit) cauli (1/4 head at a time in my 11 cup processor) with the S blade. I do it this way to get an even process. More than 1/4 - 1/3 head at a time and I end up with a puree waiting for the larger chunks to get processed. I'm sort of anal about my textures :weird

Another thing - I'll go back up and edit. I at least double most of those spices. We like it spicey (not necessarily 'hot' - just spicey, flavorful).

OOOO all of these sound soooo good! Thank you for the suggestions! I will try all of them! Qwerty, did you come up with the popcorn idea? Do you dehydrate? I dont have a dehydrator. Would it be OK without?

[qwerty988]

No, the famous green popcorn is Philip McClusky's brainchild, not mine! I did however come up with the Rawrito version.

I tried dehydrating it and frankly preferred to eat it fresh. Phillip McCluskey came to the same conclusion regarding the original version too.

Deb, I'm picking up some cauliflower this week so I can try your Spanish Rice! :heart:
