Cauliflower is one of those vegetables that used to confuse me and leave me without many options, what could I cook with it? A soup, just plain as a side, it just seemed pretty plain and boring, then one day I had a cauliflower that needed to be eaten and a lot of peppers and jalapeños, so I decided to spice the cauliflower up a little and Nicolas loved it, he started buying cauliflowers more frequently and requesting it spicy, and I’m also become more comfortable and creative with cauliflowers.

Ingredients:

1 medium sized cauliflower, washed and cut into florets

2 garlic cloves

1 Anaheim pepper

1 red jalapeño

2 medium shallots

Juice from 1 lime

1 tbs champagne vinegar

2 tbs water

3 tbs olive oil

2 tbs finely chopped cilantro

Salt

Preparation:

1. Bring water to boil and add the cauliflower, boil for 1-2 minutes. Drain.
2. To make the vinaigrette combine the garlic, Anaheim pepper, jalapeño, shallots, lime juice, vinegar, water and olive oil in a mini food processor and pulse until all the ingredients are finely minced.
3. Toss the cauliflower with the vinaigrette and salt to taste. Can be served immediately and chilled until ready to serve.
4. Add the cilantro right before serving.
