Inspired by our trip to Germany and the many wonderful composed salads we had, I created this cauliflower salad. I served it with pulled pork sandwiches, as an alternative to cole slaw, which went well together. Vegetables 1 head cauliflower, in small florets 1 carrot, julienne 1/3 c. red onion, sliced thin 2 stalks celery, […]

Maqluba With Chicken, Cauliflower and Carrot مقلوبة دجاج وزهرة وجزر
So this is a very traditional, and very delicious dish from the Arab Levant. It is called “maqluba” which means “flipped over” due to the very last step of flipping the pot onto a serving platter. I always laugh because instead of being chicken on rice, it’s rice on chicken until that last step, and […]
Saffron Cauliflower and Chicken curry
This was inspired by a dish served at a local Indian restaurant, and then based on techniques from this very different curry. I’m still developing it, but it turned out so well I thought I’d post the version I made tonight. Ingredients 1/2 onion, minced 1/2 tsp black mustard seeds (optional) 3 cloves garlic 1.5″ […]

Brown Lentil Soup with Cauliflower
Or “How to Make Brown Lentil Soup that Doesn’t Taste Like Dirt”. Here in Morocco, Melanie and I have had the problem that we can’t find anything other than brown lentils – she’s asked locals, and looked around pretty extensively, and hasn’t been able to find the much tastier red variety. However, after a lot […]
Turnips (or Cauliflower) with Parsley
I originally got this recipe for ‘navets persilles’ from the Julie/Julia project. In the original the turnips are par-boiled and then cooked again for 30 minutes. I don’t usually blanch the turnips before boiling them, and I find they usually cook in less time (especially if they are fresh from the garden and not the […]
Mashed Cauliflower and Potatoes
Not a recipe so much as a suggestion. Replace half of your potatoes with cauliflower when you’re making mash for more flavor, texture, and a less heavy meal. Here it is in recipe form: 2 lbs starchy potatoes1 large cauliflower head, cut into pieceslots of salt4 Tbsp butter1/3 c. milk or creamfreshly ground black pepper(optional […]
Palak Paneer, Aloo Gobi (Spiced Cauliflower), and Cumin Rice
This combination of dishes makes a nice meal and great leftovers. I like to use paneer when I can get it easily, but the recipe works well with firm tofu or even chicken (though then I guess it’s a different dish). These recipes are based around Manjula’s Kitchen, though I altered them a little to […]
Grilled or Roasted Cauliflower (plus proof that Lillian is only a pie-goddess-in-training)
Hooray! We finally got a grill and we put it to use immediately. Crisp, succulent cauliflower seems to be in season around here so we threw some on the grill. I make this in the winter too, using the oven. Simply cut up a cauliflower into fairly large chunks, brush with oil, and sprinkle with […]
