Vegan Bites: Cauliflower & Rice

Spiced Up 'Flower

Not generally big on cauliflower, I gave this dish a go, two Hallowe'en's ago when our friends shared it at our picnic. Even dear old Dabby who is not big on veg at all, gave it a try.

Both of us loved it!

I begged said friend for her recipe and I've made it many times since.

Dabby won't eat my version, but O and I can finish it between us!

Without it, the dish is just not the same.
