Cauliflower takes the front row in Gourmet Glow’s delicious spiced dip recipe.It’s fantastic for sharing so be sure to celebrate having friends over for dinner with this appetiser dip. It takes less than 30 minutes to make so you can rustle it up at short notice too.
Cauliflower is an understated vegetable whose relatively subtle taste often leaves it in second place to other cruciferous veg such as broccoli. But this also adds to its advantage as it is versatile and can be used as a base, just as it is for this recipe. When blended, cauliflower is beautifully creamy and the cumin and garlic lends it an exotic flavour that works well with crudites.
Best of all, cauliflower has a whole host of heath benefits. For example, it contains sulforaphane, which has been linked in some studies to slowing cancer growth by inhibiting cancer stem cells. This compound (which is also found in other cruciferous vegetables), also helps kidney function and blood pressure, making this a heart-healthy recipe also. Best of all, cauliflowers are often reasonably priced and this dip can cater as a the sole pre-dinner snack for a table of 4.
