The One Secret Ingredient You Need This Fall

September 11, 2014 by RecipeLion 1 Comment

The One Secret Ingredient You Need This FallAt first, you might be skeptical that there’s just one secret ingredient out there that’s perfect for all fall dishes. But, after you read all about it, you’ll definitely be convinced! You’re going to love the versatility of this ingredient. It can actually replace at least three different starches that are almost certainly part of your diet: potatoes, rice, and bread, among others. Yet, surprisingly, it’s not a grain – it’s a vegetable! “What is the amazing wonder-veggie?” you may ask. The answer is so simple that you’ll never believe it. And the secret ingredient is (drumroll)…

Cauliflower! Yes, that innocuous white vegetable that you always ignored for more exciting foods on your plate when you were a kid is now your favorite ingredient for side dishes and meals. You’re not going to believe what you can make with this one simple ingredient: mashed “potatoes,” cauli-tots (like tater tots, but with cauliflower), cauliflower rice, and even a cauliflower pizza crust.

Don’t worry if cauliflower isn’t your favorite. These recipes really play up the mild flavor of cauliflower with cheese, other vegetables, and delicious sauces, so you’re guaranteed to like the flavor of these recipes. All of these recipes are vegetarian and several are gluten-free, so you can appeal to everyone in your family. Go crazy for cauliflower with these wonderful recipes!

    There’s nothing more satisfying than a volcano-shaped serving of mashed potatoes as the weather chills, but not without a bit of carbo-guilt. I’m so excited to make cauliflower mash, what a great alternative. I think I’ll try serving it with some warm cucumber sauce for gravy, or maybe a mushroom gravy? O, the possibilities–
