Benefits of cauliflower

Cauliflower steaks are one of my favorite weekly dishes. It’s a great way to use a vegetable that you would normally use as a side dish as a main entree. As you know, cauliflower is part of the cruciferous family. Which includes some of my favorite vegetables – broccoli, brussel sprouts (spoiler alert: yummy recipe coming soon), and cabbage. Additionally, it’s jam-packed with nutrients, fiber, and anti-inflammatory. For more cauliflower health benefits visit, visit healthline.com.

How to make homemade romesco sauce?

Firstly, use a gas stove to char the roasted red bell peppers over the flame. Once the side down on the open flame is blackened and blistered turn it over to the next side. Continue turning with tongs until all sides are blackened. Alternatively, char under the broiler on a covered baking sheet and turn as needed. Once complete, add the peppers to a bowl, cover with a lid (or whatever you have on hand) and let it steam for 20 minutes. Finally, remove skins using plastic gloves or paper towels. After that, you may need to use a knife to remove any stubborn spots. Remove and throw away stems, seeds, and ribs.
