If you haven’t tried Fioretto Flowering Cauliflower, you are in
for a real treat. It’s a delightful vegetable, a pleasing combination of
broccoli and cauliflower -- sweet, mildly grassy, and tender. It can be eaten raw or cooked, and is excellent in stir fry and tempura.
Today I am giving you an easy recipe that the entire family will enjoy.
This recipe provides your children with an opportunity to get involved in meal
prep. It has been my experience that children love to be involved in cooking, and enjoy the
meal most when they’ve taken part in its creation.
This is enormously easy to put together,
smells delicious when cooking, and is wonderfully crunchy and flavorful. I was
so enamored with this dish, that one night I had it for dinner. DINNER! That’s
right, as my main dish. I am not kidding you; I started eating it and just
couldn’t stop! I paired it with a crusty roll slathered with whipped chive
butter, and a nice glass of Riesling. I can tell you, I was a happy girl.
If you’re disinclined to have a vegetable as an entrée, this makes a wonderful side dish with fish, chicken, or a nice medium rare fillet mignon. If you’re looking to dazzle your sweetie on Valentine’s Day, or please yourself and your family on any day, give this recipe a try. Let the kids put it together!

Rinse cauliflower and pat dry. Place into the bottom of a gallon-sized Ziploc bag, and drizzle with olive oil. Seal bag; shake to coat.
Add remaining ingredients, in order, seal bag once again, leaving plenty of air
inside. Shake until the cauliflower is coated, and no coating ingredients
remain in bag.
Empty cauliflower onto foil-lined baking sheet, and place into the oven. Bake
for 12 minutes, turn over, and bake an additional 10 minutes. Remove to a
serving dish and serve warm, as is, or drizzled with hollandaise.
*This recipe works equally well with
standard cauliflower, broccoli, or a combination of the two.

Looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteThe other night Mike cooked your chicken in turkey gravy crockpot recipe ..i mean last night - and it was deliciousi - perfect meal for a Sunday dinner. I agree that kids if you let them will enjoy cooking with you. My youngest son when he was a kid loved to bake and he is a Chef in his adult life.
I always roast my vegetables in the oven and really bring out their sweetness. I also love sprinkling with just a touch of Parmesan cheese. I haven't try broccoli/cauliflower yet.
