I don't like cauliflower. I don't like it steamed, boiled, roasted, or raw. I've never taken a bite of cauliflower and thought, "WOW". Last week we got the dreaded cauliflower in our bountiful basket (www.bountifulbaskets.org). My first thought was, "Ick, I may have to donate this directly to our compost bin". Then I searched and searched for a recipe that included cauliflower in some small capacity. I found one on www.allrecipes.com, it needed some serious retooling to be tasty, but I managed. We ate it for dinner and it was good, and then I had it the next morning for breakfast, and then I finished it off at lunch. When I was staring at my empty bowl I decided that I really, really liked it. When I first made the dish I wasn't planning on doing a post, so I apologize for the lack of tasty food porn.
