Low-Fat Roasted Cauliflower

Low-Fat Roasted Cauliflower

This method of preparing cauliflower is very simple and extremely delicious.

Quote of the Day

Roasting the cauliflower intensifies the flavor and gives it a nutty taste.
If you have never roasted cauliflower, try it now!



1 medium head cauliflower (about 2 pounds)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 400°F. Rinse cauliflower; cut into quarters. Cut off and
discard leaves and cores; cut quarters into 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick slices.
In a large bowl or resealable plastic bag, mix together cauliflower slices,
sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer in a non-stick baking
dish or rimmed baking sheet. Bake approximately 20 to 25 minutes, turning
every 10 minutes, or until cauliflower is browned or carmelized on edges and
tender. Remove from oven and serve warm or at room temperature.
Makes 2 servings.

Popeye's Famous Fried Chicken

Popeye's Famous Fried Chicken

6 cups vegetable oil or olive oil, for frying
2/3 cup all purpose flour
1 TB salt
2 TB ground white pepper *
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
2 tsp. paprika
3 eggs
1 frying chicken with skin, cut into 8 pieces, discard backbone or use later for soup

Heat oil over medium heat in a deep fryer or in a deep cast iron skillet on the stove.

Combine the flour, salt, peppers, and paprika in a bowl.

In another bowl, break eggs and beat until well blended.

Check temperature of oil by dropping a pinch of flour mixture in pan. If the oil bubbles
rapidly around the flour, it will be the right temperature.

Dip each piece of chicken into eggs; then coat generously with the flour mixture. Drop each
piece into the hot oil and fry for 15 to 25 minutes or until the chicken is a dark golden brown.

Drain chicken on paper towels and serve warm.

Makes 8 pieces.

* Note: You really need to use the white pepper to get the right taste to this chicken.

1 cup whole oats
1 tbsp. yellow corn meal
3 tbsp. honey
2 tsp. finely chopped lemon zest
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
8-10 tbsp. buttermilk

1 leopard, for strength 1 hawk, for sight and 1 alligator, for some
snappy new loafers

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375?F.

2. Grind oats and corn meal in a blender or coffee grinder until very fine.

3. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the honey, chopped lemon zest, salt, cinnamon, flour, and baking soda.

4. Add the butter in pieces and cut into the mixture with a pastry blender or 2 knives.

5. Add the buttermilk and knead well to form smooth dough.

6. Roll as thinly as possible and cut with various animal-shaped cookie cutters. Transfer to an ungreased cookie sheet and bake 10-15 minutes, until light brown and subdued.

7. Reassure annoying animal rights activists it's o.k. to eat these animal crackers because no actual animals were harmed in the production of this dish. (But feel free to remind them that unless someone cheerfully volunteers to clean up, you can't guarantee the safety of any real animals in the area.
