My thoughts:
I admit this is a fighting of an foreign recipe. I had a whole loaf of "country French" staff of life I bought at Costco terminal week. I used the outset loaf for sandwiches only the infinitesimal loaf just sat on the counter going stale. I've been trying genuinely hard to trim down downward food waste materials production hence I was trying to recollect of something to movement upwards this staff of life which was rapidly bearing resemblance to a doorstopper. Bread crumbs seemed obvious only I genuinely didn't accept any.
I also had 2 heads of cauliflower taking upwards a lot of room inwards my refrigerator--they were on super sale terminal calendar calendar week hence I impulse bought two. I googled "bread together with cauliflower" (ha!) together with past times together with large came upwards with recipes that called for breadcrumbs or some diverseness of "lower carb" stuffing where yous sub cauliflower for some of the bread. That seemed a lilliputian sad. Then I was thinking almost how some Italian recipes like panzanella straight hold stale staff of life together with plow into novel dishes without pulverizing it into crumbs. Why not create that with cauliflower?
Since cauliflower isn't every chip juicy every chip tomatoes are, I heavily seasoned the staff of life cubes. I made large cubes (about the size of cauliflower florets) hence the middles of the staff of life softened upwards a fighting together with inwards that house were large surface areas to dark-brown vs tiny cubes that tin operate from crispy together with delicious to burnt together with greasy rattling quickly. I dearest anchovies together with capers hence it was clear they needed to agree upwards included. I flush finished upwards a appall of anchovies I've had forever hence it was satisfying to movement that upwards too. Adding hence much savory flavor to the croutons meant I could just prepare the cauliflower together with soundless straight hold a fantastic dish. The parsley had been languishing inwards my fridge for a calendar calendar week also hence I genuinely checked off all "eliminate food waste" boxes together with it added a pop of coloring stuff together with freshness.
Trust me, yous wish to build this! It sounds a lilliputian nutty only it hence then good! Salty, savory together with rattling satisfying. My wife was amazed I came upwards with this together with that it was hence delicious. I can't aspect to over buy staff of life together with straight hold to movement it upwards again.
