‘Oh my, this creamy cauliflower stuff is outrageously good, mummy!!’ were the first words Andrei said after having the first bite.

It’s a nice feeling when my food goes really well with my sweet little darlings.

A truly nice dish
Well, you obviously gathered, my family just loved it! It really is a perfect dish for this season and I just love the fact that you can throw in quite a few veggies so even the ones that do not love veggies that much will enjoy this creamy delicious dish.

You might think that I’m going nuts but this dish was a dish I dreamt I was having last night. Haha! My dreams do come true you see? Always. I wish winning the lottery was this easy too.

I did get one ticket for tonight’s draw. Ha! Good luck to me! I will keep you updated if there will be any significant changes in my pocket and in my financial circumstances. Lol

For now, let me share this beautiful recipe. It’s creamy, it’s rich but not too rich, it’s yellow but not too yellow. It’s simply divine but not too close to divinity. It is a gluten-free dish, simply beautiful, warming, comforting and truly rewarding.

If you are a vegetarian, simply, just ignore one ingredient in there, the pork medallions, of course, the rest is all yours. I have used flat beans because that is what my fridge had to offer but feel free to change the veggies to whatever you have or fancy.

It’s winter now but I could not let go of the autumnal colours. These have to be present in our food. I have chosen yellow this time as it is bright, appealing, appetising and inviting.

It looks good I would say and in this instance, it’s the super-powerful turmeric that’s done the trick. What a great ingredient, right?

I do cook with turmeric quite a bit, just love it.

I’m not sure the pictures managed to convince you how good this dish is but you definitely must give it a try. This delish-dish is definitely a must-have as soon as possible, and allow me to warn you here, it’s soo gooood, it’s unerring good, folks.

The pictures aren’t that great and I know this, it’s not easy to take a good shot of a dish that contains turmeric on artificial light. I have not managed to look into gadgets and lighting yet to deliver better pics but I am pretty sure you have the idea.

Serving ideas

This creamy cauliflower dish is darn yummy, you’ll only see what I mean after the first bite.

Not difficult at all to make and it makes a beautiful family meal which we normally have with polenta or over orzo. We love it both ways.

If you are into creamy delicious dishes, here is another beautiful creamy chicken recipe that we absolutely love and I’m sure you’d enjoy very much too.

Tips:

Pork medallions can be easily replaced by any chicken cut or even beef. It is just a matter of how you cook the meat. If using chicken, this needs cooking more thoroughly than pork or the beef. If choosing beef, it’s paramount what cut you choose.
You may even have a roast and add this as a side or some fillet that gets cooked accordingly.

This creamy dish goes fabulously well with no meat at all making it a lovely and super tasty vegetarian dish. Whichever way you go it is a winner, a guaranteed one.

* The 200g orzo is the dry weight

Let’s get this creamy cauliflower on the plates, we’re just a few steps away. Mmmmmm, I’m drooling already.
