Fried Cauliflower Greens!
« on: June 14, 2011, 06:06:02 PM »
Yes, Fried Cauliflower Greens  8) I was trimming a head of cauli this evening like I've done hundreds of times before and as I stood there looking at the pile of greens I grabbed a piece and ate it...... delicious! I heated up a tablespoon of EVO over medium high heat, chunked up the greens and tossed them in. I seasoned them with a few sprinkles of garlic salt and black pepper. I stirfried them til semi tender ( I like my veggies with a crunch) and served them with a little drizzled melted butter.

Who wooda thunk  ;)

Hi Doug! :)

Some of the best things to eat were discovered by accident.
What you do today is what matters!

Hi Jo! :)

My mom used to boil carrots (and some other veggies) in water with some table sugar added to remove bitterness and sweeten the flavor.
It works... But we see the problem with it!

I hope the Outback isn't doing this!

Umpa, what do you do with the stalks? strip them? slice them across?
I stripped the tough outer part off the other day and put it in the pan with some very thin sliced chicken along with the tree part of the broccoli to have chicken and broccoli (chinese style) for lunch.

I peel them and slice them and  put them in the pot or stirfry with the rest of the broccolli.Very yummy!Kids love them too!You can cut them like sticks and blanch them and use for dips.Food is too expensive to waste ;)
