Cauliflower

Some people love it and some people hate it. In our house we've always been squarely in the 'love it' camp.... until recently!
I came back from a holiday late last year, to find HoM had turned his figurative back on cauliflower! He no longer wanted it to be part of our menu - ever!

Imagine his glee then when he discovered there are 10 pages dedicated to cauliflower in my magazine! Tee hee ;-)

Tonight we are having bacon, cauliflower and chili pasta! Mmmmm. The recipe involves roasting the cauli with anchovy fillets which is an interesting twist - and, presumably, so much tastier than just steaming!

Had to stop writing so I could eat said cauli dish, and although I forgot to take a picture for the blog (sorry lil sis) the meal was good! I would never have put those flavours together, but the anchovies and chili flakes gave the meal a real depth of taste.
My only negative would be that the pappadelle pasta was very unwieldy. I tried to do the Donna Hay patented twirl as I was plating up the pasta, but it just wasn't as easy with such wide pasta. Mmmmmm, I guess it's either a case of 'practice makes perfect', or stick to spaghetti!

HoM coped quite well with eating the cauliflower. His bowl was completely empty, so he's clearly ready for another 8 pages of cauliflower recipes ;-)
