Back in the mid 80′s, a wonderful guatemalan woman showed me how to make a few of her delicious recipes, including this fried cauliflower. The first time I saw her preparing it, I was a bit sceptical on how it would taste. I mean, the only way I thought I liked cauliflower was raw and dipped in ranch dressing at that time. After she whipped up a batch of them though, my skepticism quickly turned to delight as I enjoyed some of the best cauliflower I had ever eaten. This Coliflor Envuelta en Huevo (cauliflower coated in egg) is a common dish in Guatemala, and is similar to tempura. The difference being that the coating is pillowy, instead of crispy and light.

With Fall quickly turning into Winter here in Southern Indiana, our menu has turned to filling comfort foods. For us that means lots of hearty soups, stews, and casseroles. One of our favorite casseroles on the homestead is Cottage Pie. Not to be confused with shepherd’s pie which is lamb based, cottage pie uses economical ground beef, along with veggies and a fluffy mashed potato topping. Until now.
