cutting cauliflower

[darkoshi]

Note to self:

When cutting up a cauliflower head into smaller pieces, after breaking it apart into big chunks, for each smaller chunk, cut upwards through the stem part way, then use hands to pull both sides of the stem apart. That way the florets break apart on their own. If you cut all the way through the florets, then you end up with a lot more loose white pebbly bits.

Another note: Cauliflower is a food that can cause gas. That link also has a recipe for oven-roasted cauliflower, which looks quite good.

I had a similar realization with broccoli not too long ago.

Mmm, broccoli. I ought to buy it more often. It just usually seems more expensive than the other vegetables.
