Welcome to my recipe collection.

These recipes offer a delicious mix of new and old world flavors. From the kitchens of my mother and grandmother in Transylvania to the new fusion mixes from my home kitchen in Canada. I have been inspired by the fickle tastes of my children ( vegetarian, pescatarian or whichever way the wind may blow) and my desire to become healthier without compromising taste. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Leave me comments and your favorite recipes!

CAULIFLOWER TABBOULEH

Ingredients

  • 1 medium head of Cauliflower
  • 1 cup fresh Parsley, chopped
  • ½ cup packed fresh Mint leaves, chopped
  • 3 Green Onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup Cherry or Grape Tomatoes, quartered or halved (depending on size)
  • 1 cup Cucumber, peeled and chopped
  • ½ cup Kalamata Olives, pitted and chopped
  • 3 small cloves of Garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • ½ teaspoon ground Turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon fine Sea Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
Directions
Cut the cauliflower to remove the stem and then chop into pieces small enough to fit into your food processor. Place the cauliflower in food processor and pulse until the cauliflower pieces turn into “cauliflower rice”. You may have to do this in batches, depending on how large your processor is.
Add parsley, mint, green onion and garlic into food processor to chop more finely, if desired.
Place cauliflower rice, parsley, mint, green onion and garlic into a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and toss to mix. Taste and add more salt or pepper if necessary.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store covered in the fridge for up to one week.
