I'm a cauliflower freak


And it looks like this is going to go well with steak tonight.


Curry cauliflower pancakes

This is modified from a recipe in Bon Appetit magazine. It makes a terrific side dish for steaks, chops, and other grilled meats.

2 lbs cauliflower florets
1 medium onion
2 tsp curry powder
3/4 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp black pepper
6 TB dry bread crumbs
2 large eggs
olive oil
vegetable oil

Cook the cauliflower in boiling water until tender. Drain and mash with a fork or process in a food processor until fairly smooth, with some small chunks remaining. Mince onion finely and sauté in 1 TB olive oil for about 10 minutes until just starting to brown. Remove from heat and stir in curry powder and cumin for 30 seconds. Mix onion, cauliflower, breadcrumbs, eggs, pepper, and salt to taste. Using your hands form into patties about 1/2 inch thick and 4 inches in diameter. sauté in 1/8" vegetable oil until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Place on paper towels to drain and keep warm in a 250 degree oven while cooking the remaining patties.
