A cauliflower-based dip for crudites. Serve with carrot sticks, celery sticks, red capsicum sticks, broccoli florets, purple cauliflower florets, mushroom quarters, spring onion sticks, and/or any other firm vegetables that strike your fancy. This should work with white cauliflower if purple is unavailable (shh, don't tell the recipe source!). Adapted from: http://www.purplecauliflower.com.au. The original recipe did not call for oil, but rather suggested dry-sauteing.

Ingredients

8 serv.
  • lb purple cauliflower, cut into small pieces1⁄2
  • teaspoon fresh rosemary1
  • tablespoon extra virgin olive oil1
  • garlic clove, chopped1
  • teaspoon cumin1
  • lemon, juice of1
  • ounces cream cheese, softened and diced small8
  • teaspoon salt, to taste1⁄2
  • teaspoon pepper, to taste1⁄4

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Place a medium skillet over medium high heat. When skillet is hot, add the oil.

  2. 2

    Saute the purple cauliflower, garlic, rosemary and cumin until cauliflower begins to change colour. Stir frequently, to prevent sticking or burning.

  3. 3

    Once the change in colour is achieved, add 50 mls (just under 1/4 c) of water. Cook further until cauliflower is cooked through and mixture is again dry. If mixture is too thick and gluggy, add 10 - 15 ml (2 - 3 tsp) of cream or milk to correct consistency.

  4. 4

    Place cauliflower mixture into a food processor with the cream cheese and blend well. Add lemon juice while mixture is being blended.
