Passionate for plants..especially edible ones. Vegetable and herbs of all kinds find there way into my kitchen. The produce section, farmers market, is a world of color, shape, aroma and texture. Explore along with me as I experiment, ponder, taste and savor the foods of a vegetable lifestyle. I love having a herb and vegetable garden... and encourage anyone with a bit of land or a pot to try. Of course, these days you can't think of food or farming without considering being green or eco.

Cauliflower instead of rice?

Oh yeah!!!



Grated cauliflower - used raw or gently steamed makes a good substitute for rice in nori rolls.

Season with a bit of japanese vinegar.

Soak the almonds for a few hours.

nutritional yeast and some tamari.

From an earlier post...
this uses Cauliflower to make risotto.



4 oz. of curried tempeh 
1 cup of cauliflower risotto 
1/4 of a roasted red pepper
1 slice of roasted onion

only...350 calories!!

Simmer tempeh in water with curry powder, coriander seeds, cayenne (make as spicy as you like), thyme, 1 tsp. olive oil, 1 tbs. nutritional yeast. Let it pan fry and dry up bit and add some water and let it bubble up...do this 3 times...to let the spices soak into the tempeh.

this is 8 oz. 
(serving size 4oz.=210 Cal.)


Grate the cauliflower and simmer in water (just enough to cover it). Cook a couple of minutes...it should be crunchy...not mushy.  Add a herbal blend of spices...1 tsp. of olive oil.
Drain...add margarine and parmesan cheese to taste.



Squeeze some fresh lemon on top along with some black pepper.
