Madras Cauliflower

Post by LINDA RN »

Looking at some Thanksgiving recipes for some that are LDL adaptable and found this one.
Only thing non-LDL is the brown sugar. It may be that it would taste good without the sugar at all or I am sure that those who substitute could use splenda or stevia. I was thinking if the sweetness was really essential to this, I would probably use 4 cups pure apple cider in place of the chicken broth and brown sugar. I found some apple cider (not from concentrate) that has nothing added (unfiltered, no preservatives, sweetner or additives of any kind).

        o 1/2 teaspoon salt
        o 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
        o 1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
        o 1 Turkish bay leaf
        o 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions

Stir in broth, brown sugar, and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Add cauliflower and cook over moderately low heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower is crisp-tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
Transfer cauliflower with a slotted spoon to a serving platter and sprinkle with parsley or cilantro.

Tumeric and a dash of mild curry give this cauliflower dish a sunny jolt of yellow color

Thanks Linda!  I will have to try this. 

I have tried a recipe where you lightly steam the cauliflower and then add a little olive oil, lemon juice, cilantro and curry powder to it but found it to be too strong.  Next time I will use less curry powder.

Happy LDL Thanksgiving!  :thumbsup:
