Cauli-power

Gone are the days when the only option for cooking this humble vege was to smother it with cheese sauce. A favourite with the paleo and keto-loving set as a pizza-base alternative, this hard-working winter staple is versatile enough to take on myriad flavours, which is why it’s such a win-win in the kitchen. Try it as a thick, creamy soup, a warm, cheesy dip, baked into fritters or as a ‘rice’ accompaniment for peanut butter pork.
