So after making the cauliflower couscous I found that I still had a tremendous amount of cauliflower left over. Let's not be delusional. SIX pounds is an enormous amount of cauliflower. In fact, it is so much that it is enough to make 3 distinct and incredibly unique recipes.
Up until now I have only experimented with cauliflower rice and cauliflower pizza.
But today I'm going to share with you a fantastic recipe for cauliflower tortillas and cauliflower brownies!! Get excited!
Cauliflower Tortillas
Just made with cauliflower, egg, cilantro, and lime juice. So easy! (Recipe here!)
One comment: please please please watch the 1 minute video and check out the texture that the dough should be. I actually squeezed out so much of the water from my cauliflower that I ended up with a much smaller quantity than they used. Once I added all the liquid, my "dough" was mush - way too wet! I had to adapt by dumping in a bunch of whole wheat breadcrumbs to soak up the moisture. So either don't squeeze so much of the water out, use a whole head of cauliflower, or start with just one egg and see how it looks before adding another. I haven't tried these methods, but they sound doable. Or else, have breadcrumbs on hand.
Despite my missteps, they came out incredible! I was so pleased at how well they held together, never breaking after adding filling. And they had a really nice flavor with all that cilantro and a great texture. Fantastic veggie filled alternative to flour or corn tortillas.

Now, onto dessert! Another super simple recipe.
Cauliflower Brownies
Super clean recipe, with just cauliflower, almonds, cocoa powder, almond milk, maple syrup, and eggs.
My only note is to blend super well! The result is a moist and chocolatey dessert. They are a lot softer than normal brownies - not as chewy. But as a guilt free dessert they definitely meet my standards.
Yum!
So if you ever find yourself with 6 pounds of cauliflower...you'll know what to do!
