After a week of reseting and relaunching my iphoto application for hours, I finally realized that it is not just miraculously going to work. So, I had to find a long way around it. Now it's time to post recipes again! As I mentioned before, I had never had cauliflower but I wanted my little one to try it because, well, why not? And also is one of those super foods, low in fat (good news for mommy and daddy) and high in nutrition. Because cauliflower is so bland, it lends itself to strong flavors and spices, so feel free to experiment!
Here is what I did:
Pre-heat the oven at 400 degrees
"Clean" the cauliflower, discarding the end and the leaves and cut it up in small pieces. This was mostly because I wanted my little one to attempt self-feeding (that was a sight to see!) but you could also leave it in florets for yourself and little pieces for your baby.
Drizzled the cauliflower with extra virgin olive oil and toss to coat all the pieces.
Cut about 4 garlic cloves in halves or 3rds (that way I could get the flavor but could take it out before pureeing).
Place in a shallow or flat oven safe dish (I used a cookie sheet).
Roast for 15-20 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender but with a bite.
I've tried this dish in different ways. Just like described above but with salt and pepper for mommy and daddy. I've also tried it with Asiago cheese (my favorite) and with curry powder. You can have it slightly pureed, or completely mashed as well. This makes a great and healthy substitute for mashed potatoes or you could even combine the two and they'd never know!
