Cauliflower | One Food Two Ways

Cauliflower has evolved from being just another everyday vegetable to a true kitchen superstar. Once simply steamed or added to dishes like cottage pie, it is now roasted, fried, and transformed into a variety of creative dishes. The humble cauliflower has become the centerpiece of many modern recipes, often reinvented to look and taste like something entirely different.

Here are two simple ways to make the most of this versatile vegetable:

Mashed Cauliflower with Blue Cheese, Garlic, and Greek Yogurt

Steam a head of cauliflower with a few cloves of garlic until tender. Blend the cooked cauliflower and garlic with Greek yogurt, blue cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper for a creamy, flavorful mash. This makes a great alternative to mashed potatoes with a rich, tangy twist.

Cauliflower Rice (No Water Needed!)

Chop a head of cauliflower into medium-sized pieces and pulse them in a food processor until they resemble small rice grains. Place the "rice" in a microwave-safe bowl, cover it with cling film, and pierce the film lightly. Microwave for a few minutes and the cauliflower rice is ready to serve as a low-carb substitute for regular rice.
