OT: The M-Fing Food Thread

[Habsy]

Yeah. Sugar is a little high in cantelope but I can absorb natural sugar carbs easily when not eating regular carbs.

so we made a cauliflower rice veggie stir fry this week. inspired in part by the cauliflower lovers here. gotta say, it's pretty meh. like it's fine, but I'm not sure I see what all the fuss is about.

YOU HAVE TO ROAST THE FUCK OUT OF IT

YOU HAVE TO ROAST THE **** OUT OF IT

that will be my next cauliventure I suppose.

don't get me wrong, the dish we made is fine. actually tasty enough. I just don't know why I would go through all that effort instead of just... using normal rice.

 

[Habsy]

Wait until your triglycerides and A1C are out of whack. Then you'll know why.

 

[Preston]

Don't listen to CH1. No matter what you do to the product, it's still cauliflower.

 

[Habsy]

The fact you have to smear it with cheese tells you it's bland.

Add a little garlic salt + small amount of olive oil

And then some meat

as I was putting the cauli into the food processor I added salt, pepper, and garlic powder with each batch. then cooked in the pan that the veggies were sauteed in. don't get me wrong, it's a good meal. I'm sure it's healthy. but it's a lot more effort to turn caulifower into 'rice' than to just make the original.

Sea salt works well too if you're not a fan of garlic.

yeah....I've never used it as a rice sub.. but when you roast it, it becomes a perfect vehicle for whatever flavour you want. I like lemon/tahini/olive oil garlic.

this recipe is also good -- gives it the buffalo wings treatment if you want to junk it up a little

In some grocery stores can buy it already riced and bagged then all you need to do is cook it or throw it in some soup or top off a salad with it.

Roasted another whole head yesterday. Dervish. Getting a bit boring with me recipe but it's so good I'm not sick of it yet.

Never actually tried ricing it.

Any way you have it thr key is to get it crispy not mushy. Mushy cauliflower is awful.

Those are made up words.

but then I can't buy the cauli from my farmers in the valley (which is a higher priority for me. I know, high maintenance)

Zeke's on it
