Where to begin, A blog full of food

So this blog is just a little plaything for a simple woman with a shed load of time on her hands.  It is made up of recipes I have found, some that I have adapted and others that I have invented, some of my best inventions have been bastardisations of other recipes stuck together to make a super neat meal for my Beloved and I.

First up is one of my very favourite recipes prior to my descent into caveman eating, the simplicity is what makes it great, hot or cold, same day or from the freezer this recipe is an all rounder, can be used as a side dish, a base instead of rice, or just a plain old snack......

One Cauliflower (size depends on how many people you want to feed, or share with because trust me once you taste it you will want to keep it all for your self).

Cheese grated (again amount depends on how you like your cheese, myself I love a lot of cheese so I add more than a couple of handfuls and usually Cheddar, the stronger the better.

Eggs 1-2?
Salt and Pepper

Having recently invested in a new food processor I have moved on from hand grating my cauliflower which tends to lead to flying cauliflower and a very messy kitchen, so firstly with the processor I used the disc, unfortunately because my processor is not the expensive type I was on occasion left with big clumps of cauliflower which then needed chopping by hand. And then one day whilst reading a recipe I read that to make cauliflower rice the metal blade is the best tool to use, it was like a mini revolution in a bowl, I had cauliflower that was uniform in size, the kitchen was clean and no chopping required at the end, hallelujahhhhhh.

 So here comes the simplicity of this wonderful, tasty dish which I started to make around the time I moved to Turriff, when potatoes were off the menu and I needed a filler that was both tasty and simple and loved by all children, adults alike.  

Set oven to around 180-200C/350F/Gas mark 4-6, time depends on amount so I just check after 20-30 mins and when it is golden brown it is cooked.

So grate your cauliflower, and the cheese, add salt and pepper and mix together, then add your eggs, a very large head of cauliflower needs between two and three eggs to bind it together, I use my hands (cleaned previously by the way) to mix the ingredients.  Take a baking tray (shallow) line with greaseproof paper and pour the mixture out, flatten down until it is the depth of a pizza base, then slam it in the oven and wait.

Once it is golden brown remove and you can let it cool or slice right away, eat as you like and when you like, I absoloutely love this dish, but now I don't eat cheese it has taken a step back to my next recipe, which once again was an adaptation from a recipe for Latkas.........
