CAULIFLOWER PUREE WITH CRACKERS

   I don't particularly like cauliflower,but I remember that being a child I totally hated it, which is a common thing among children to hate vegetables. Growing up, I started to eat it and now one of my favourite dish is cauliflower puree. 

  This recipe is perfect for hot summer days, when just the idea of staying in kitchen and cooking makes you sweat. You can enjoy it with crackers and fresh tomatoes like I did or even a side dish.

CAULIFLOWER PUREE WITH CRACKERS

Cauliflower puree

1 cauliflower (medium size)

1/2 cup mayonnaise 

1 small red onion minced

2 cloves of garlic minced

1 teaspoon mustard

   Cut the cauliflower in bouquets and wash it fairly well. Place a big pot of water to boil and when it starts to boil add the cauliflower. Let it simmer around 10 minutes or until soft. Meantime mix the mayonnaise and mustard together. 

  When the cauliflower is ready, drain it, place it in a food processor with garlic and onion and puree it until desired consistency. Then mix it well with the mayonnaise. 

Crackers

1 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 cup oil

1/4 cup water

paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

   In a big bowl mix well the flour, salt and baking powder. Add the wet ingredients and continue mixing to form a dough. Roll the dough as thin as possible ( the more thinner your dough will be, the more crispy your crakers will get) and cut your crakers at desired shape. Place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. 

   Sprinkle on top with paprika and bake at 220 degrees celsius for 10-12 minutes or until golden.
