Dinner this evening was oven-roasted cauliflower and garlic. This is one of those "food blogs" dishes that I've put off trying because it looked like way too much fucking work for the amount of enthusing people did about it.



1. It's dead easy.
2. It takes less time than you think.
3. It's tasty, assuming you like garlic and cauliflower in the first place.
4. Browning vegetables: Not Impossible! Who knew?

Requires no special skillz. Get raw cauliflower (I used fresh) and break it up into hunks. Add a couple (four or five) halved cloves of garlic. Put the lot in an oven-safe pan, drizzle with butter/olive oil, add salt-n-pepper. Turn oven to some baking temperature. I used 325. Bake, stirring every ten minutes or so, until cauliflowers are suitably brown and yummy. Eat!

Give it a whirl!

Mmm. Cauliflower & garlic sounds like a good combination. Especially with a good amount of melted butter on top. Maybe when I actually own a stove. Cauliflower is passable when microwaved, but not brilliant.

I don't go overboard with the melted butter, but this not-having-a-stove thing is bizarre. You should get a stove (or get the landlord to get you a stove). There's no way you can cook properly without a stove and cooking is Good For You.

Eh. I never used the stoves in prior rental properties except to make stuff like rice-a-roni and hamburger helper and the occasional scrambled eggs. The microwave suffices for my current purposes. I'm not going to bug the landlady for a stove when I've gotten by for more than seven years without one, and I'm probably only going to be in the place for another year and change.
