,The cauliflower would work, but I wouldn't cook it for 30 minutes. Another good substitute is celeriac. AmeliaTo: BTVC-SCD Sent: Tue, March 16, 2010 6:02:29 PMSubject: Recipe Question

I love to read cookbooks and I am sure I'm not alone in reading

recipes looking for things that are SCD legal. Well, I have found an

interesting sounding one and want to ask about a substitution.

This is from an old Woman's Day encyclopedia of cooking,

1966. Volume 6, page 939

Soowar Ka Gosht Vindaloo (Sour Pork Curry)

2 lbs lean pork, cut into 3/4 inch cubes

1/2 cup vinegar

4 medium onions, chopped

1 tablespoon minced ginger (or 1.5 teaspons powdered)

1 tablespoon mustard seed

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

1/2 teaspoon cayenne

1/4 cup oil

1 cup chicken broth

1 cauliflower (instead of Illegal: 6 potatoes)

marinate meat in vinegar, onions, garlic and seasonings for at least

2 hours. Place in casserole with oil and broth. Cook over medium

heat for 30 minutes. Add cauliflower (potatoes) and cook covered,

another 30 minutes until everything is well done and tender. Add

more broth if necessary.

serves 6

OK, obviously we need something else besides the potatoes so that's

why I thought of cauliflower. But I haven't tried it yet. I need a

few opinions on whether this would work, cooking-wise, and also

flavor-wise. I think the basic stew sounds delicious though for

myself I'd have to leave a couple of seasonings off. I suppose I

could make it just as the meat and flavorings, too.

Thanks, yellow squash sounds good, too. Most of the time I don't

have to worry about anyone but myself in this. I know I'm lucky!

I like yellow squash and it holds up well when you cook it for a long

time.

Not sure it'd replace potatoes for other people but I usually use it

when

something calls for them.
