Cauliflower Tart: A pictorial
The triumph of this past week’s farmers’ market is the cauliflower tart that I made a few days ago using romanesco cauliflower, leeks, onion, Gruyere, Parmesan and Marscapone cheeses, heavy cream and eggs.
First I sautéed some leeks and onions:
Then I roasted the Romanesco cauliflower and thinly sliced it:
Then I assembled the tart after mixing together the eggs, cheeses, and heavy cream:
The tart cooked to a golden crisp looking much like a quiche:
AB and I each enjoyed a slice of the cauliflower tart (then we had another slice!):
We relished the tart with a simple salad made of poppy seed dressing, sliced avocado and red onion:
Poppy seed, Avocado and Red Onion Salad:
Ingredients:
1 bottle of poppyseed dressing (we like Briana’s)
1 small avocado
1/3 cup of thinly sliced red onion
1 head of red leaf lettuce
Directions:
Break the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and wash and dry all leaves thoroughly. Thinly slice the red onion and set aside. Cut the avocado into bite-size pieces. Mix together all of the ingredients with about 4-5 tablespoons of poppy seed dressing. Serve immediately.
Enjoy!

I have to say, from personal experience, it was very tasty. Could help anyone get over their fear of cauliflower…
