7 Best Cauliflower Dishes in Calgary

Check out how Calgary chefs are interpreting the “it” veggie of 2014

Roasted, fried, pureed … any way you cook it, it’s hard to deny that cauliflower is the “it” vegetable of 2014. Here are a few different ways you can enjoy this humble piece of produce around Calgary.

The Block Cauliflower Croquettes

Minced cauliflower is seasoned, coated and fried for an appetizer that’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Served with a mild curry aioli on the side for dipping.

Bistro Rouge Cauliflower Fritters

Chunks of cauliflower are lightly battered and served with some perfectly buttery hollandaise sauce and crispy capers to help cut the richness.

Oak Tree Tavern Roasted Cauliflower Hummus

Pub fare typically doesn’t lend itself to healthy options, but this creative spin on hummus made with pureed roasted cauliflower and topped with pickled curried cauliflower is as good for you as it is tasty. It’s really, really delicious.

Ox and Angela Roasted Cauliflower

Make room for this small plate on your table at this popular tapas spot on 17th Avenue. Roasted cauliflower is tossed with raisins, topped with aioli and garlic bread crumbs for a little crunch.
