What’s brewing in the Hogwarts Kitchen?
Things are really coming together for the party - less than a week to the movie (woo woo!) and just about 2 weeks until the book release! A couple more recipes to plan…
Here’s a nice summery salad/snack - again, we’ve been inspired by Molly Weasley - this time it’s Cauliflower…
Cauliflower Salad
1 head cauliflower - florets separated into bite size pieces
4oz (or more if you like) of each: Oil cured ripe olives; spanish olives; black olives and green olives. Mix and match as you like.
Optional add ins: Artichoke hearts; caper berries; red bell pepper; button mushrooms; really, anything that tastes good marinated…
Marinade/dressing
2 green onions - either minced or cut into 1/4 inch “circles” - your choice
1 teaspoon “real” garlic powder - reconstituted in 1 tablespoon water
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 sprigs fresh flat leaf parsley
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flake
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup olive oil
Prepare:
1. Mix onion, garlic powder, herbs, red pepper and vinegar in a glass bowl. Whisk to combine.
2. While whisking, drizzle oil into bowl. Whisk in salt and pepper to taste.
3. Toss cauliflower and olives (and any other additions) in dressing.
4. Transfer salad to air tight container and refrigerate for 4 hours (at least)
5. Bring up to room temperature before serving.
6. Serve with crusty bread.
The vinegar will break down (ie cook) the cauliflower as it marinades - if you’re making this salad way in advance and still want some “crunch” - add the vinegar to the mixture a few hours before serving.
