Curry Cauliflower Frittata

October 28-29, 2011

To avoid the frustrating boundary carnival hoopla that overtakes Melbourne this fourth dimension every year, nosotros got together amongst a bunch of regular vegan potluckers together with booked inward a weekend out of town. In Warburton to endure precise. Soak upward some of the serenity:

We had a houseful of fantabulous cooks, all taking turns to endeavour to feed 8 people together with nearly equally many dietary restrictions (the fundamental three: vegan, gluten-free together with garlic-free). Cindy together with I drew the breakfast roster, opting for a massive pile of tempeh bacon on the Dominicus forenoon together with pre-preparing this giant cauliflower frittata for Saturday. The recipe (based on i from Vegan Brunch) tally the mouth perfectly - it was substantial plenty to feed a large group, could endure taken upward basically completed and, most importantly, it was a gustation sensation.

Cauliflower together with tofu brand upward the mass of the frittata, amongst carrot together with spinach adding a flake of coloring to the mix. The fundamental to the whole affair is having a decent curry pulverization - nosotros realised equally nosotros were making this that we'd run out, together with then I ad-libbed something out of the spices nosotros had around. It worked okay - I'd endure keen to endeavour this i time again amongst a proper spice mix though. As delicious equally it was, a whole plate would in all probability larn a flake samey without a few accompaniments - Cindy's pickled radishes provided the perfect acidity kick, piece stir-fried greens offered something a flake colourful on the plate.

This was a dandy outset to our Saturday, filling us amongst the unloose energy we'd postulate to sit down around eating chips, playing cards together with drinking wine.
