April 14, 201412 yr Well, I know it was not The Tice, since the pieces are still large enough to photograph.
April 14, 201412 yr Steaming the cauliflower seems to work best. Then either mash with butter to taste or purée in food processor if you want a smoother consistency. I also like to grate raw cauliflower and use it like rice in stir fries or chop into thin slices, toss with olive oil and roast on a baking sheet. Latter is my French fry replacement. Damn, several good ideas right in that one post. And I just bought cauliflower, with no specific plans for it. And before I saw any of the cauliflower posts in this thread.
April 15, 201412 yr Whee - crazy good nu Head Case party food ........ "Chocolate Bacon Cupcakes" ! Just made these, very good. Note, they bake fast and do not rise very much. Who needs chocolate rabbits ...... go for chocolate bacon (hah - who says wimmen's magazines are useless) link: http://files.blallkyseibert.com/random/Choco_Bacons.jpg
April 15, 201412 yr Grahame -- I thought of you !! They are so you. Debating how small to crumble bacon. In mine, you could taste chunks. About the size of chocolate chips, but chewy texture was odd. I think smaller chunks better.
April 16, 201412 yr Split peas cooked with bacon, onion, carrots, garlic, rosemary, bay leaf, and chicken broth.
April 16, 201412 yr Split peas cooked with bacon, onion, carrots, garlic, rosemary, bay leaf, and chicken broth. As a huge split pea soup fan, that sounds very good. Recipe?
April 16, 201412 yr As a huge split pea soup fan, that sounds very good. Recipe? I took this recipe and changed it a bit to make it less of a soup and more like a dish with lentils. 3 cups of low sodium chicken broth instead of 4-14oz 5 slices of bacon because that is how much I had in the fridge green onion instead of leeks since I didn't have leeks an extra 3 garlic cloves 1 sprig of rosemary (probably more than they called for) I topped it with feta I only let it simmer for 30-35 minutes (I just tested it for doneness, still a bit firm but cooked). I probably should have added some celery but got lazy. I forgot how much I love split peas. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Split-Pea-Soup-with-Bacon-and-Rosemary-103872 Edited April 16, 201412 yr by shellylh
April 17, 201412 yr Cruciferendipity! Threw an entire bag of cauliflower in my current batch of chilli. This is better filler than my oatmeal or couscous or pretty much anything else I've yet tried. Cut it down to "rice" size (or "meat crumble" size), and after cooking for an hour, it has the perfect consistency of hamburger helper type stuff, without being so crunchy as to be "nuts", and without the starchy coating. I'll def be doing this again.
