Roasted... Quote: Roasted cauliflower takes on a whole new dimension - it caramelises during the roasting process and is truly delicious. It's great to serve as finger food with dips (suggestions below), or even as dinner for one. Allow just under 3 carbs per 100grams of raw cauliflower. Ingredients
Raw cauliflower cut into florets Olive oil Salt and pepper Optional: Whole clove of garlic, paprika or cumin
Method
Preheat your oven to 180C. Place the florets in a single layer on a baking tray or shallow dish. Coat with olive oil and seasonings. If adding garlic and other spices do so now. Toss well to coat. Roast for 45-60 minutes, turning several times until starting to brown on the extremities and go tender (but not mushy!). Serve as is or with dipping sauces.
Dipping sauces
Lemon mayonnaise: Mix into 1/2 cup home-made or bought mayo 1/2 - 1t finely grated lemon zest and 2t of lemon juice. Add a little Dijon mustard to taste if desired. Coconut and coriander relish: Mix together well 1/8 cup coconut cream, 3T coconut threads, 1/4 finely chopped tomato, 1/2T finely chopped red onion, small handful chopped coriander leaves, salt and pepper. Add more coconut cream if too dry. Unquote.

Cauli and kumara mash is delicious.Use one large peeled kumara for every halfcauliflower, boil together in salted water until completely tender, drain very well.Puree in a food processor or with a robust stick blender, adding a big lump of butter and lots of salt and pepper.I sometimes add a tablespoonful of Dijon mustard.

This was on a low carb siteI make it all the alot with great success.
You Won't Believe it's Cauliflower Pizza Crust
1 cup cooked, riced cauliflower* 1 egg 1 cup mozzarella cheese 1/2 tsp fennel 1 tsp oregano 2 tsp parsley
**pizza or alfredo sauce
toppings (make sure meats are cooked) mozzarella cheese
Delicious and easy. Stuffed crust cheese is delicious. Recipe here. Preheat oven to 450 degrees Farenheit.
Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray.
In a medium bowl, combine cauliflower, egg and mozzarella. Press evenly on the pan. Sprinkle evenly with fennel, oregano and parsley.
Bake at 450 degrees for 12-15 minutes (15-20 minutes if you double the recipe).
Remove the pan from the oven. To the crust, add sauce, then toppings and cheese.
Place under a broiler (grill for the Europeans) at high heat just until cheese is melted **.

Cauliflower Rice - Coconut & Coriander version
Ingredients:
1/4 head of small-medium cauliflower 3T plain desiccated coconut Salt & pepper Small handful of fresh coriander leaves, pulled apart 2T butter Dash of olive oil 1t lemon juice
Method
Put the cauli in the food whizz and pulse until it makes fine particles the size of rice Add the coconut to a dry pan on low heat and stir constantly until lightly golden and toasted (watch it as it's easy to overdo!). Remove. Add the butter and oil (to reduce the burning point of the butter) When sizzling add the cauli rice and reduce the heat, stirring well Cook over a low-medium heat until softening (I allow 10-15 mins max. with the odd stir) Season and taste Just before removing from pan to serve stir through the coriander leaves, coconut and lemon juice and mix in well

Don't finger me!...I said ANOTHER, not THE other ;)
"Adapted from an recipe by Annabel Langbein. This is lovely fresh tasting 'different' salad that goes well with the never-ending Christmas ham! The cashews can be a bit high in carbs, so keep that in mind when you're deciding how many to use. Ingredients As much cauliflower as you need 1/2 cup salted roasted cashews - maybe more if you like a saltier taste 2T chopped fresh coriander 1t grated fresh ginger - more if you like ginger 2T whatever salad oil you use Salt and black pepper Method Put the cauliflower minus the stalks into the processor along with the cashews and blitz until the mixture is like small crumbs (or to whatever texture you prefer) Mix in the coriander, oil, ginger and seasonings Toss and serve"
