spaghetti

squash. I add butter, a touch of salt, homemade pesto, homemade tomato sauce

and

honey. It works well for leftover spaghetti squash-I cook gently over low heat

until the

parmesan cheese in the pesto melts. You can add some chervil or parsley for

colour. It is

nice beside fish or chicken.

We made this at the SCD Cooking Course in Toronto last year.

Cauliflower Mushroom Risotto

1/2 head cauliflower

5 dried porcini mushroom

2 tablespoons chicken stock (home made)

2 tablespoons dry white wine

2 tablespoons olive oil

12 small onion,finely chopped

2 cups of mushrooms, slice

1 garlic clove, crushed

3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Soak the Porcini in 1 cup boiling water for 20 minutes. Drain and keeping the

liquid. Pass

the liquid through a fine sieve. Chop the porcini mushrooms.

Put the cauliflower through you food processor using the shredding blade. This

gives the

cauliflower a texture that is remarkably similar the rice.

Blanch for 3 minutes. Please,don't over cook it!

Heat the olive oil in a large pan, cook onion and garlic until softened but not

brown. Toss

in the fresh mushrooms. Season and cook, stirring for 1-2-

minutes. Add the porcini and their liquid, and the wine and stock. Increase the

heat and

cook until the liquid has been reduced.

Add the cooked cauliflower and reduce the heat to low, stirring continuously

until the

stock has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and stir in

the parmesan and top with parsley.
