How can you trust a veggie that looks like brains?
So I have put myself on a 10-day exclusion diet to look for food intolerances based on a blood test. Hence the cauliflower, since it's on the short list of things I can actually eat right now. I roasted it like Dan suggested (with sesame oil and salt). Then I found a recipe for "Manchurian Style Cauliflower" which calls for garlic, ketchup, and cayenne. I heated up half a can of tomatoes with some maple syrup and cayenne until it bubbled and started to caramelize, then tossed the cauliflower in. Not bad.
I really can't go to restaurants for this time, it's not a long list. But I am satisfying my curiosity as to whether or not food intolerance is creating my symptoms, and I'm learning a whole new level of creativity when it comes to cooking. Two days ago I made "chili" with sweet potatoes and edamame. It's an interesting challenge.

I don't know...are you sure cauliflower isn't in some way responsible for the ills of the world? It's a very well-connected vegetable.

I hear what you said (in your last cauliflower-related post) about not really eating pale veggies, but the last time I looked, cauliflower was surprisingly full of vitamins.
In all likelihood, that has not changed.
My current cooking challenge is CSA-related. Tonight, I made turnip-green quiche. It was okay, but it won't be my first choice for quiche-making in the future.
Good luck with your experiments!

Ellie, I am in the same sort of position. Some of the things I'm making I will make again, some, not so much... But it's all learning, right?!
