Do you know what I love the most about cooking? It’s the creativity that you get to bring to every dish. Experimenting with different ingredient combinations is a great way to exercise our creativity and develop our palates.
So, with that in mind, I’ve been doing some of my own
While roasted grapes have been a thing for a while, I thought about combining them with cauliflower to make them part of a main meal rather than an accompaniment to cheese.
Turns out the nuttiness of the roasted cauliflower pairs extremely well with the enhanced sweetness and bite of the roasted grapes, and it’s these sort of discoveries that keep me psyched about being in the kitchen.
Take my miso vodka pasta sauce for example. Who knew that miso and vodka would work so well together? I didn’t until I tried it.
This recipe is really simple to make and served up with a side of Jasmine rice, it can be on your plate in around half an hour.
If you make this recipe, let me know because I’d love to hear what you think!
