Ever wonder what those little stickers, that you see on fruits and vegetables, are all about?
Well here you are, if It's a five digit number that starts with a 9 like, 94570 It's organic, if It's a four digit number, that starts with a 4 0r 5, That means It's been grown conventionally, with the use of chemicals. If the number 8 is in front, that means the grower really has balls, because it has been grown using GMO seed. Which of course we never see, because their not required to tell the consumer...
LUNCH....
It's Thursday, about 1pm, and I'm starving, It's about 20* and trying really hard to snow! The refrigerator looks pretty empty, except for a lemon, some garlic, kalamata olives, and a cauliflower, that I bought from the girls from Waldon Island, at the farmers market, this last weekend. I remembered seeing an article in Gourmet magazine, back in September. Too bad these hard times claimed that icon, I'm going to miss that publication, I go back in time when Caroline Bates wrote some great articles for them. Very Sad... So here it is, a simple wonderful, lunch to remember...
Roasted Cauliflower Steaks, with a Kalamata Vinaigrette
Only Organic Please!
1 2lb cauliflower, cut into steaks about 1/2" thick
1/4 cp olive oil, divided
1 small clove garlic
1-2 Tsp lemon juice to taste
1/4 cup Kalamata olives
Preheat oven to 450*F with the rack in the lower third. Cut cauliflower lengthwise into 1/2" - 3/4" slices, put them on a large sheet pan or baking dish, and toss with half of the olive oil, and season with sea salt and pepper. Roast turning only once for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown. While that's cooking, mince and mash together the olives, garlic and lemon juice, add the rest of the olive oil and a pinch of salt. Blimey, my mouths watering again, just writing this, truly this is a fantastic dish... Cheers, H
