Cooking with Cauliflower

When it's cold outside there are so many recipes to make, but my favorite has to be anything with cauliflower in it! Here are some recipes I love to have in the winter time...

Cauliflower Cakes 

1 small head cauliflower
2 eggs
1/4 cup mined onion to taste
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
salt to taste
Coconut oil for frying

Directions

Start by removing the leaves and any green stems from a head of fresh cauliflower. Place the cauliflower in a large pot of boiling water. Boil until it is soft. And by "soft" I mean if you stick a spoon in it, the spoon should sink into the cauliflower. at this point I throw my cauliflower into the blender for a few seconds. It will smoosh very easily, I promise.In a large bowl, combine the eggs, onions, cheese, and parsley. Then add the mashed cauliflower and mix it all up a little more. Heat a bit of oil in a large skillet. Add a few heaping spoonfuls of the cauliflower mixture.They're done when both sides are golden brown.
Drain some of the oil from the Cauliflower Cakes by placing them on a paper towel. Salt lightly and serve.
