(18,598 posts)Husband had always done the cooking in our home for 30 years until a few years back when he had serious health issues. Since then Im top chef haha. I look for few ingredients and simple instructions and prefer all in one pot/pan options so this one qualifies

(129 posts)My youngest son is a vegan chef up in Portland at Fermenter, and he just taught me a great new simple way to cook cauliflower.
Take one head of cauliflower and one onion and three cloves of garlic. Slice them all thin and then simmer them slowly in a couple tbsp of veggie oil (not olive) until they're opaque and not browned.
This can take close an hour to do and you should keep you eye on it while it simmers stiring occasionally.
Once they're cooked just put it all in a blender and wizz it up! Simple as that.
Now you have this great filling base to use for sauces or curries, vegan or add meat or whatever.
I boiled carrots and potatoes and made a great simple curry, cost four dollars and lasted us a couple days. Yum yum yum!
If the cream is too thick add fluid.
Enjoy!

(129 posts)It's also such a great base to get different flavors out of. He's uses it for gravy's and a thickener for all sorts of dishes. Goes great with meat too!
Glad to share it. I often read this thread as I do all of our cooking and shopping and am always looking for new and wonderful things to do in the kitchen.
