In perfect Fall form, we've got Cauliflower as the secret ingredient in this week's Steemit IronChef competition.
For my dish featuring cauliflower, I made a cauliflower bowl that is filled with a fresh and lively cauliflower pomegranate and hazelnut salad. Surrounding the bowl is a light and lemony cauliflower and sweet potato puree and crispy cauliflower-parmesan crackers. Finally, bright flavors of quick-pickled cauliflower and broccoli finish the dish.

so much cauliflower - for the bowl I molded the dough mix over the top of a small glass bowl and baked it. :)
Fantastic photography. The clarity is amazing. This looks so delicious, we are going to try the puree . Great content, thank you.
Thanks @spinkx23! The lemony puree is so fresh!
Now this is cute! Really really nice! So much love in every detail! I assume it was very delicious! But the presentation is just wonderful for the eyes!

Good post about the food

Looks so tasty and I love the cauliflower bowl! So, so cute!!!
... now on to the Thanksgiving meal. Have a great one and eat lots!
You see broccoli and cauliflower shares a very similar appearance but the taste is so distinctive. I always choose broccoli over cauliflower because it has an unfriendly aftertaste that I couldn't take it. But I assume these recipes can be substituted with broccoli? Anyways, do check me out at @explorernations

Also my first attempt to post on cooking recipe:

You could definitely sub broccoli in for cauliflower for most of this dish! Great idea - and now I'm thinking of how I might make this dish again in the future with broccoli!
Looks really delicious! :)
Thanks @genaugreta :)
Beautiful!
Thanks @cancerdoctor - delicious and nutritious!
This is awesome! I like cauliflower. Your post gave me ideas on how to cook a variety of cauliflower dishes. Thanks! @jaymorebeet!
Resteemed!
Thanks so much @abigailloverremo :) So nice of you to resteem and I'm very glad you're inspired. Are you working on an orange dish for this weeks' SIC?
heehehe. I was so busy last week. I was on a trip. @jaymorebeet
Feel starving now waahh
So so sorry :) hehehe
For the bowl, do you just push the pasty mixture into an oiled ceramic bowl and put it in the oven?
i actually turned the bowl upside down (a little glass bowl) and molded the mixture over the dough. I greased the bowl first so it wouldn't stick.
I love cauliflower and you have elevated it to a totally new level. Good Luck!
Thanks @lrich :) Cauliflower coming out of my ears!
Gorgeous dish and I imagine it’s bursting with flavor! The salad bowl is so cool looking
Thanks @jeffjagoe :) especially with the pomegranate seeds, it IS bursting w/flavor :)
You always have so many creative ways of cooking with the week's special ingredient! And it always looks so nice. I really like that little bowl - and how you made the cauliflower with the smoked paprika!
