Help me like cauliflower... please

And how could I forget cauliflower and cheese soup. I make it with a chicken stock. Cauliflower and broccoli is another good soup.
 
Do you like Pizza? Try to blitz cauliflower to make a pizza base & bind with egg, cheese , herb or garlic. Top off with whatever you like. Lots of ideas on google.
 
All good ideas. Or just don't eat it. I don't and I don't feel like I'm missing anything.

May I ask if you follow the totally carnivore idea? I'm heading that way, rapidly. Never have liked fruit or much veg and could happily do without if hubby would go with it. He can cook his own, or make a salad.
 
I have cauliflower cheese, but do not like cauliflower so I mash it up with brussel sprouts, runner beans and cabbage, to make it palatable.
 
Have you tried the bread?
 
and once in a blue moon this
 
Roasted it is great. You can also slice it into centimetre slices and roast it. Roasting it improves its flavour.
 
If you find a way here of liking cauliflower then that's good but there are no rules that say you have to eat something you don't like. Why do you think you have to eat cauliflower now if you would not have eaten it before you had diabetes .Low carb is about not eating or lowering foods that raise your BG it is not about eating food you don't like
 
I fully understand the reason for the question. The OP would like to be able to eat cauliflower to give more choice at meal times. Similarly I would love to be able to like the taste of eggs, lamb and pork. I know I don't have to eat them, but if I could life would be easier (and it would have been easier for me even before I developed T2 too)
 
The OP may not like cauliflower, but is willing to give it a go anyway. I adore cauliflower (and all brassicas) and I'm eating more than ever, but if the go-to vegetable wasn't cauliflower but beetroot, which I detest, I wouldn't even try to like it.

Same with me. I am gradually increasing the number of foods I like to eat, but eggs are still a no-no. Shame.
 
Blend it and drink it
 
Curried - or add to another curry to bulk it out - you can't taste that its cauliflower at all.
 

I use green beans tossed in butter, garlic & chilli flakes a lot
 
Some great ideas here - thank you all.

When I did the rice, I just dried, grated & fried it...... still had that strong taste...
