Curried Cauliflower
Curry is a great way to bring some life to otherwise bland vegetables.
1 1/2 Tablespoons oil
1 head cauliflower chopped up
1 medium onion chopped up
saute until onions are clear and cauliflower is tender
In a bowl mix:
1 teaspoon curry
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup water
Add this to the cauliflower and onions and simmer until liquid is reduced by half.
In India potatoes are added to the curry. Cauliflower (cabbage-flower) originated in the Mediterranean and is popular in cream soups in the mid section of Europe.
Greek Broccoli and Rice
This is a great healthy, one pan meal. It can be prepared the day before and heated in the oven at 350 for about half an hour.
It was a cold winter day and I had spent two hours driving through the snow. I found this little tiny Greek restaurant and had a platter of this dish. It was so wonderful I had to learn how to make it myself.
Prepare…
1 head of broccoli (steamed or boiled)
1 box Near East Rice (your favorite flavor) or 1 cup uncooked white rice
cook rice according to directions
1 cup tomato sauce warmed up (your favorite)
1 can cheddar cheese soup
add to soup
2 cloves grated or crushed garlic (be brave go heavy on garlic here)
1/2 cup diced chives or scallions
Put rice into a large casserole dish
Pour tomato sauce over rice
Place broccoli on top of rice and sauce
Pour 1/2 of cheese soup over broccoli
Serve
Broccoli came from southern Italy and is an excellent source of vitamins A and C and cancer fighting substances.
Garlic is one of the oldest cultivated plants, medicinal and religious use goes back at least 6,000 years. Chicago got its name from the wild garlic that grows around Lake Michigan.
