Have you ever wondered what cauliflower brownies would be like, well now is your chance? I love to find healthy alternatives to tried and tested recipes which have been used for years. Cauliflower is so often the replacement for the grain. It is such a versatile vegetable and will take on any flavour. It is my favourite vegetable and I use it often to replace the starchy mashed potato, instead of rice or couscous, mixed with other ingredients as a pizza base and now here it is as a tortilla.

Cauliflower Tortillas

Corn is hard for most people to digest but with the magic of cauliflower, these tortillas are a fabulous alternative.

Prep       Cook      Ready
15 min     25 min      40 min

Ingredients

• 3/4 medium head Cauliflower
• 2 large egg Egg
• 1/4 cup Cilantro (coriander) (or parsley)
• 1/2 whole lime – juice and zest
• 1 dash Black pepper

Instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 180 deg C
• Trim the cauliflower, small chunks & then steam them for 2-3 minutes so soft, but not mushy.
• Let the cauliflower cool and then pulse it in a food processor in batches until you get a couscous-like consistency.
• The finely riced cauliflower should make about 2 cups packed.
• Place the cauliflower in fine cheesecloth or a thin dishtowel and squeeze out as much liquid as
  possible.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs (or chia egg for vegans). Add cauliflower, coriander, lime, sea salt, and black pepper.
• Mix until well combined.
• Use your hands to shape six small tortillas on baking paper.
• Bake for 10 minutes, carefully flip each tortilla and return to the oven for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until completely set.
• Place tortillas on a wire rack to cool slightly.
• Heat a medium-sized skillet to medium.
• Place a baked tortilla in the pan, pressing down slightly, and brown for 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
• Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Tip: You can munch these by themselves, make quesadillas with them, or add some taco filling and fold it like a taco.

While I was putting this post together it got me thinking. Cauliflower is so versatile wouldn’t it work in decadent desserts and cakes? So I asked Mr Google and the selection, though not endless, was excellent. This was the one I picked out. Enjoy without guilt!
