Pickled Cauliflower
By Sue Struthers

This is a tasty quick pickle! So nice to toss into salads, or eat with a sandwich.
It's possible to have a jar full of pickled cauliflower done in ten minutes. The steps are straight-
forward and quick. It can be eaten immediately, or refrigerated to eat over a week or so. ~ Sue

Ingredients
3 cups cauliflower florets (purple)
1 small white or red onion, sliced
5 dried arbol chiles, torn up
2 teaspoons black mustard seeds
1 1/2 cup rice vinegar
1 cup water
1 tablespoon fine grain sea salt
3 tablespoons sugar

The first thing to do is toss your florets with any other ingredients and seasonings you might be
using. I like to use onions, mustard seeds, and dried chiles. Pack this into a quart sized Mason jar, and fill nearly to the top. The last stage in the process is heating a mixture of vinegar, salt, and sugar in a small
saucepan. It simmers until the grains of sugar and salt have dissolved. The hot vinegar is poured over the cauliflower until it is completely covered.

Creamy Brussels Sprouts & Leeks
By Viktoria's Table
~Serves 3-4~

Ingredients
1 lbs leeks
1 lbs brussels sprouts
3 Tbs butter
3 Tbs olive oil
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp cumin
4 garlic cloves
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese + more for topping

  1. Saute the leeks in the butter until they are soft and begin to caramelize (about 10 minutes)
  2. Cut the bottom part of the brussels sprouts, and halve or quarter them.
  3. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, and add the brussels sprouts. Cook for 5 minutes and drain.
  4. Saute the brussels sprouts in olive oil, salt and pepper, until they begin to get a nice color (5-7 minutes).
  5. Add the leeks back to the pan, and stir.
  6. Add the sour cream, mixed with the cumin, and smashed garlic and stir.
  7. Add the Parmesan cheese, and combine everything.
  8. Taste and adjust the garlic/salt/pepper content, and cook for just a couple more minutes.
  9. Optionally, sprinkle more Parmesan cheese on top, and put under the broiler to get a nice cheesy top.
