I Grew a Cauliflower
I Grew Cauliflower
Nothing prepared me for the joy you get from growing your own food. I bought a packet of seeds, I put them in seed trays, I planted them, I waited, I grew cauliflower!
They are supposed to last for up to 2 years when you do it like this, probs not as we will no doubt have them eaten before then but good to know.
What to do with them?
Here’s what I did:
- Cut the heads into small florets
- Soaked them in salted water for half an hour to get all the beasties out
- Steamed them on the stove for 5 mins
- Plunged them in iced water to stop the cooking process
- Put them on paper towel to drain excess water
- Pack them into zip lock bags
- Stuck them in the freezer (I laid them flat so that they didn’t all bunch together)
