Hello again my cauliflower friends.

It's been a while. I know. Apologies, final exams and Christmas. While the holiday season has come and gone along with it's delicious food, my camera was fairly absent during all of my eating. I while mention however the Chocolate truffle dome i had at the Fairmont Palliser for Christmas dessert. Phenomenal. For my first posts of the new year, ima throw back to '09 and finish up with those meals before I delve in to 2010. spoiler: 2010 is looking deliciously RAW. BUT FIRST -



Cauliflower Latkes

Need - Cauliflower, Chickpeas, Leeks, oil, water, flour, avocado(optional), garlic, whitewine(optional), spices

Not the most traditional latkes but delicious none the less.


1. Chop a quarter head of cauliflower into 4ths. add to food processor with 1/2 can chickpeas, half a leek. and spices such as cumin, garlic, and curry powder to taste. Processes. add 2-4 tbs of flour of choice (rice for me) and add oil, water or soy/rice milk till mixture is sticky but not liquidy.
2. Form mixture into little latke shapes and place in a hot pan with oil. fry till golden on both sides.
3. For avocado puree blend 1 avocado, salt and pepper to taste, 1 clove of garlic and 2-3 tbs of white wine.



Serve!

As always siracha sauce is a good bet for almost any dish. Drizzle as needed.
