Spicy Cauliflower

It's been a while since I've posted.  I've been in a food rut. UGH.  Been making a lot of my old standby's and pantry meals.  We are moving soon and we are trying to use up a lot of what is in our pantry so we don't have to move it.  So I'm pulling this one out of the vault.  I made it a few weeks ago and forgot to post it.  Don't forget to email us your favorite recipes to try and post here at hayjucook@gmail.com

A side dish. This might be the first side we have posted.  I love cauliflower, but struggle with ways to make it 'more fun'.  Don't get me wrong, I like it raw, steamed, plain, or with a little butter, but sometimes you wanna spice things up a bit.  So for this easy recipe, I added a few asian-esque things and served it with pan seared venison that also had an asian-inspired sauce (yes, we eat a lot of venison in this house).

What you need:
1/2 head of cauliflower- steamed
2 teaspoons sesame oil
4 cloves garlic- minced
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (we like sriracha brand)

What you do:
Heat oil up over medium or medium high heat.  Add garlic to infuse into the oil.  After about 30 seconds add pre-steamed cauliflower and saute for a few minutes adding in the hot sauce at the last minute.  Easy as pie!

Enjoy!

note: I thought I had a picture saved of this, but I wiped my computer last week and must have only saved the blog folder that contained the recipes. Hopefully they are still on my camera.  Whoops.  Use your imagination for now!

  1. Great recipe, Hayden! What you're talking about -- the night where everything "must go" from the fridge and pantry -- I've tried to implement such a dinner once a week. I hate when food goes bad! Do you keep most fresh things in the fridge?
