Dear Cauliflower…..I hardly knew ya
Our relationship was short and passionate as I discovered that you were absolutely delicious roasted with a drizzle of balsamic glaze to add that bit of sweet. You were a chameleon when I chopped you up into tiny bits and fried you in sesame oil and frozen peas with a dash of soya sauce…..like a Oscar winning actor you become “fried rice”.
But, alas…..you have become beyond my reach and are now only served to royalty…..the foie gras of the vegetable community, the Beluga caviar of the cruciferae family.
Stay Gold, Pony Boy….stay Gold.
