OMG - so easy and so YUM, and only 3 ingredients - 4 if you count the pepper but I wouldn't! This is even easier than the other cauliflower recipe I forgot about (see below)
1/2 cauliflower 1 block of blue vein some milk pepper to garnish Chop cauliflower up and boil in a few centimeters of water - it shouldn't cover it. Put a lid on the pot. Leave until the cauliflower is soft when you stick a knife in it. For me this took the time to go to the 4 square and buy some stuff for the kids' school lunches and back home again. I don't know where your local shop is, or how much stuff you will buy, so maybe check after 15 minutes Use a stick blender to whizz up - it won't be perfectly smooth, that is OK but you don't want lumps of cauliflower in it. Throw in the blue cheese in some big lumps. And eat a little bit of it to check. Stir on low heat, until cheese is melted - you don't need to stir it all the time, just occasionally. When the cheese is melted, add milk so it looks like a soup consistency. grind some pepper on top. I served with that bread that you heat up in the oven, and it was YUM. There was going to be enough for tomorrow's lunch and to share with Amanda who had yuck kale and spinach soup for lunch, but the husband ate it all up.

mood rating: tired and stressed (the type of stress when you can't find a kid, but are pretty sure they are OK, but then start to panic, because you aren't sure where they are but don't want to call the police yet because you will sound like you are really irresponsible so you have gone for a little drive to try and find them, but they have come home safe, but it is really late now) Time: about 25 min You need: A stock cube A head of Cauliflower An onion Couple handfuls of grated cheese Fry onion in a little oil for about 3-4 min until soft (just cut it into big chunks - you're going to blend it later) Add cauliflower cut into smallish pieces and cover with boiling water from the kettle Boil for about 15 minutes until soft Add stock cube now because you have forgotten to add it earlier. Stir in grated cheese. Serve with toasted bread-type things, buttered bagels are good. Make the kids eat at least 3 more big spoonfuls after they complain about it. Crumble in some blue cheese if you have some left over from friends coming over in the weekend. 25/5/2014 0 Comments I have some vegetables.skill rating: easy mood rating: tired but you've already had takeaways once this week Time: about 15 min You need - eggs 1-3, if you have only one, you have to use less veges - 1 or 2 potato peeled and grated - other veges peeled and grated (pumpkin, kumara, zucchini...anything grateable really) - cheese about 1/2 - 1 cup grated Mix grated veges and cheese with beaten egg. There should be enough egg to coat everything, but not so much it is swimming in egg. Heat pan, and add oil or butter. (should be about medium) Add spoons of veges and push down with the back of the spoon to flatten Cook for 4 min Flip and cook 4 min (you don't want it too hot, or it will burn - it needs the cooking time so that the potato cooks) I have in the past added a little can of tuna to this. The chilli one. It was quite nice from memory. You could also add left over shredded ham chopped up finely. |
