This past Sunday evening I was invited to my neighbor's house for
dinner and roasted cauliflower was on the menu. YUM-YUM.

I don't know why but I never think to buy that vegetable. Broccoli,
yes, squash, yes, new potatoes, yes, tomatoes, of course. But for
some unfathomable reason it's like I have had blinders on when
passing by the cauliflower. It will definitely be in my shopping
cart this week.

We also had kale salad that included tomatoes, bacon, goat cheese,
and a very light oil and vinegar dressing. It was lip smacking as
well.

I'm going to do the same. Roasted sounds good. I'm going to do a pork
roast so a tray of veggies in the oven would be perfect.

I love roasted asparagus and especially the tips. I could eat 10
pounds of roasted tips if I could afford it.

Deep fried cauliflower is very good too, deep fry the flowerets, can
be battered... cauliflower is also excellent pickled.

I was at a summer feed once, and someone made a "low carb" version of a tater salad, they substituted cooked cauliflower for the taters...it was quite tasty.

I forgot about the pickled, I sometimes make refrigerator pickles, so will pick up some cauliflower and give it a whirl this weekend...

I like any kind of roasted cauliflower, but like the cauliflower slices the
best, cut thick.

These were large pieces, not slices, but I'm going to try my darnest
to keep mine is as large slices as possible. There were lots of
brown, tasty spots all over the pieces. She said she used a light
olive oil, salt, and bit of garlic powder. I don't have any o.o.
so I'll just use safflower oil and might melt a smidge of butter
into the oil before tossing.

I think that would taste great. I saw a cook on tv (can't remember who) who
called them cauliflower steaks, at any rate roasted cauliflower is
wonderful.

Try coating it with yogurt mixed with curry powder before baking it.
That also works well for grilling it.

Sorry, I don't have any yogurt here but I do have curry powder.
When I buy yogurt, which is rare, I always buy those fruit and
flavored cups.

That might work with peach flavoured yoghurt strangely enough. I have
made a peach chutney that resembled the mango chutney that goes so well
with curries.

It would work fine with mayonnaise.

That's too bad. Yogurt with a bit of fresh fruit is usually much better
than the fruit flavoured stuff, and a little bit of honey will cut tha
sharpness of yogurt, but I have to confess that I am not big on straight
plain yogurt. However, it can be handy for cooking. It is nice on soups
where you might normally have sour cream, and it makes a great marinade
for meats.

I used to throw out old jars of mixed pickles with the cauliflower and
onion still uneaten. Not any more. Those bits are as good or better than
the pickles.

Crosse & Blackwell chow chow mustard, onion, cauliflower and cucumber
pickles were the bomb. The cauliflower was the best part. But they're
gone where I shop and have been for years. And yeah, I googled for a
store near me. They don't even make them anymore, I don't think.
I love pickled cauliflower. The closest I can get to the dream
described above is Mezzetta, but it's not the same. Still good though.

Ooh, tempting.

childhood

Really!??

It runs about $2-$3 here (southern Ontario) for a decent size head.

Since I discovered roasted cauliflower, that's pretty much the only
way I cook it. I do it with EVOO, S&P, garlic powder, and a bit of
parmesan cheese.

I guess I'll found what it costs Friday when I hit Kroger. I might
stop in tomorrow at Aldi and see how much it goes for there.

Luckily I can find nice large heads at the .99 cent store often, but it's
usally around 3 dollars at the supermarket, except Smart and Final where
they charge 1.99 a pound for it, ridiculous price.

I bought two very large heads of cauliflower at Aldi's today for $1.99
each.

Same deal here yesterday, Cheri. I made a point to look since
price has been discussed. My store has cauliflower for $3.99 per
head. All were about the same size so I weighed one and it was
slightly less than 2lbs. So... $1.99 a pound here too.

I'll try it sometime roasted but not buying a veg that I've never
liked for 1.99/lb. As I mentioned, I've only had it raw in cold
salads before and...YUK! That was always the first veg I'd eat in
the salad just to get it over with. Salad dressing on it was the
only redeeming factor.

Yes, no reason to buy something at that price when you're not sure you would
even like it.You can always try the roasting when the cauliflower is on
sale.

Cauliflower is pricey because it's a labor intensive crop, the leaves
need to be tied to cover the head.
https://www.wikihow.com/Grow-Cauliflower
Cauliflower is a cool weather crop... best to buy at a farm stand in
fall, the full head with all the leaves. The leaves are very good in
soups.
