Vegies can be yummy....

Another winter staple in my vegie garden is cauliflower. It also harvests over a long period so you can have it fresh for some time and watching one grow always makes me smile!
When I was young I spent alot of time with my grandmother who had a beautiful vegie garden that puts mine to shame, but if I keep working on it, maybe mine will be as magnificent as hers was. Anyway, this was a dish she would cook regularly to serve with meals that I still enjoy cooking and eating now.

• Grow a cauliflower! But if you cant, here are some that I have taken the love and time to grow and enjoy to share with you!

Peek a boo....

• Harvest it and compost the nourishing scraps to the chickens who enjoy their role in my garden!

• Then go back to the kitchen and cut up a few cloves of garlic, or more if you like!

• Add the garlic to some hot oil and fry for a minute.

• Add the cut up cauliflower to the pan and fry for another minute.

• Add a sprinkle of vege stock powder and some water (as per instructions) or some of your own vege stock if you have some.

• Let this simmer away with the lid on for about 8 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.

• When the cauliflower is ready, remove the lid and let the liquid evaporate away. Allow the cauliflower to brown off a little.

• Remove from the heat and serve warm to accompany your dinner or served cold as a spring salad with a bit of fresh parsley on top!

• Buon Appetitio!
