Equipment

  • Dutch Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400F
  2. Mix all the ingredients except the cauliflower together and whisk well.
  3. Trim any leaves of the cauliflower and cut the stem so it will sit flat. Do not remove any of the florets. Keep the cauliflower whole.
  4. Place cauliflower in the dutch oven upside down and pour half of the mixture on it. Let it soak for a minute then turn it over and brush and pour the remaining mixture over the top.
  5. Place the lid on the dutch oven and bake for approx 35-40 min. Check for easy fork penetration.
  6. When it is at that point remove lid and place oven on broil. Allow the cauliflower to brown on top. Approx 3-5 min.
Sweet Potato Mash
  1. Wash sweet potatoes and place in oven the same time as the cauliflower.
    Place a few fork holes in each potato before putting in the oven.
  2. Once fully baked remove outer skins from potatoes.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients and begin to mash the potatoes and ingredients together. Adjust salt to taste and ready to serve.
Broccoli
  1. Steam broccoli until tender.
  2. Add sea salt and fresh thin garlic slices and serve.
Mushroom Saute
  1. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and fry the mushrooms.
  2. When close to fully cooked add the garlic and spinach and allow to cook for a few more minutes. Spinach leaves should wilt right down. Salt and Pepper to taste and serve.
