cauliflower pumpkin simple recipe easy
to replicate and talking about
replicating these recipes that I provide

own recipes that you would like to share
this is the group where we can talk more
about you also not just me all the time
so make sure you miss it chopped time
yes friends and I will make sure that I
leave the name of the Facebook group
down below in the description box so
let's get our hands washed
and begin
[Music]
let's talk about the ingredients really
quickly I have a head of cauliflower
here this is the fresh one as you can
see now he has the frozen that will work
perfectly also I also have soft rock now
let's talk a little bit about some
sauerkraut is fermented or pickled
cabbage which comes from the same family
as cauliflower obviously you all know
cabbage also is a vegetable so this is
what is going to give as that famous
popular sour tangy punkin fermented for
panko taste so here we go and we only
need a quarter cup of that now for our
binder we are going to be using oatmeal
yes this is a cup full of oatmeal which
is equivalent to 300 healthy calories
with emphasis on the word healthy
because oatmeal is known to lower bad
cholesterol
it is very nutritious and also healthy
packed with a lot of fiber so here's a
head of cauliflower what I'm doing now
is just prepping it I am going to be
blending it into a very smooth period so
I'm just cutting it into smaller pieces
so it fits nicely into my blender to aid
the blades of my blender to blend it
perfectly and next we are going to run
some tap water on our cauliflower to get
it completely and thoroughly cleaned and
then we're going to combine all of our
ingredients in the blender and just
blend so we have that smooth theory and
begin cooking our cauliflower uncle now
as I mentioned before the sauerkraut
which is fermented cabbage is going to
bring up as that classic fermented taste
of the original bank roof recipe now for
those of you who don't know what banku
is it is a West African dish which
usually are
several different soups stews sauces
grilled meats and seafood so you would
eat banku the same way you would have
for instance mashed potatoes it is
sticky starchy and it has an intense
fermented taste and it's originally made
from fermented corn and at times we
would add fermented cassava or yoga to
it as well so we're trying to mimic its
texture and taste
hence the inclusion of the sauerkraut
now sauerkraut is made with a lot of
salt to get that fermentation going so
therefore we did we do not need to add
any salt to our banku now friends and
talking about how this recipe came
together my goal originally was to
reduce the starchy carbohydrates and the
calories in preparing the original
banquet recipe so I was using the actual
banku dough as my bandar what I did was
increase the cauliflower itself and
decrease the banku dough and then
eventually I graduated into using a
healthier binder which is now the
oatmeal and also to obtain that sour
fermented taste I even used lime and
lemon juice at some point as well so
that is an alternative that also works
beautifully in this recipe so in the
absence of the sauerkraut you can
definitely use an acidic juice
it could even be
white vinegar now if you don't care
about the actual taste of it then you
can absolutely omit that it the texture
is just perfect that it is just like the
banku itself so what I did was cook the
banku
for 12 minutes total it doesn't take
long for oatmeal to cook through and
obviously the cauliflower doesn't take
long at all and then I let it sit and
rest and then it it toughen up it
becomes a firmer as you can see here so
I let it cool down and now I'm serving
it just look at that texture it is soft
just ask Duncan is supposed to be in the
taste
just try the recipe you'll come back
later and thank me so I served it with
my oven grilled mackerel
and I chopped up some vegetables and
added some fresh red pepper or shit'll
and I also included my famous
Conchita which I have a recipe on the
video too that is also uploaded and it
is link below in the description box now
look at the texture of the bunker
perfect and beautiful it was delicious
I would like for you to try this recipe
