The Next Superfood! Cauliflower Leaves Recipe with a Spanish Twist

[@aimwell6279]

You are soo hilarious and beautiful 😍 I can say your presentation is one of the best. I mistakenly cooked cauliflower leaves for collard greens when there's no cauliflower on it. Today I saw your video and was extremely happy with your happy video You hair is beautiful 😍

[@AtHomewithSusana]

You are so kind! Thank you!

[@andzilemalinga1264]

How many people are here, looking for zero-waste recipes after all that hard work in growing such abundance

[@AtHomewithSusana]

I agree! Let's keep cooking them! 😉 Thank you for watching!

[@jyotimathew4348]

Thanks for your recipe , yes I use it .. 1. Finely chopped green leaves added seasoned with chopped garlic , green chillies, onion Top with grated fresh coconut . 2. Leaves are coated underside with paste of gram floor mixed with salt and spices and tamarind ,jaggery . 3 Leaves are layered on top of each alternating with gram paste . Then all are rolled over to make a log . Steamed in a steamer , then cut into slices when cooled and then shallow fried after coating with few sesame seeds . It is an Indian recipe usually with colorama leaves , but I invented this recipe by using my garden harvested large cauliflower leaves . Tasted yummy

[@AtHomewithSusana]

Wow! I'm impressed with your recipe! It sound time consuming BUT AMAZING! Thanks for sharing!

[@catmandoo4585]

You are very right... these leaves are far better tasting than Kale ! Two thumbs up! One for the leaves and one for the hair !

[@AtHomewithSusana]

I'm glad you like them both 😘

[@conniedavidson1807]

I just had to cut my cauliflower before it flowered out. The plant leaves looked so pretty I hated to waste them. Now I know what to do with them. Thank you.

[@AtHomewithSusana]

I'm so glad you will use them! Thank you for stopping by 😊

[@teclambithe5467]

Thanks for the recipe. Just a little tip: for green leafy vegetables you clean them before cutting. 1.not to lose some nutrients 2. To clean thoughroughly along the veins. Just incase there's some mad from watering you'll be able to clean well when still whole. Thank you

[@AtHomewithSusana]

It makes sense. Thank you for that tip! And for your support 😉

Susana, I have 6 cauliflower plants in my garden and lots of leaves. Just this morning I par blanched about 20 leaves, and frozen them. Then I found your video. Great minds think alike 😉

[@AtHomewithSusana]

Wonderful!

Thank you for the info!!!

[@AtHomewithSusana]

TY for watching!

[@AbottNCostello]

Thank you for your nice recipe! Your leaves were amazing looking. I just use the green's attached to the ones i buy at the store. I used to throw them away. But many times there are a lot of healthy leaves on the cauliflower so I have been washing them and cutting them up and just roasting along with my other veggies (the flourettes, onions, carrots, potatoes or whatever tossed in olive oil, garlic and seasonings. And they are fine. Taste good. Or when I make pumpkin cauliflower soup, I just include them in and they don't ruin the soup. It's good. But I wanted ti know what people are doing so searched and found you, thank you! And another man who is Asian and he now chops the stem cores and center core up to a small dice and adds it into stir fried rice. He used to just toss them too until his friend served him some once. So people are not necessarily tossing this good thing out anymore. I like your recipe too. And the stock with other added veggies should be great. Who knew they're so healthy! Thank you for sharing your research with us. It's not always available when I buy cauliflower, but now instead of ripping the leaves off I look for a good one with healthy leaves. Oh, I an new to your channel. I don't know how you looked before, but I am sure you were as lovely as you are today. Keep smiling. Thanks, Lisa 😊

[@AtHomewithSusana]

Hi Lisa! Thank you for watching and subscribing! I was curious about the leaves as I had more leaves than the actual cauliflower head! I'm glad you shared about another video on how others use the stems. It all makes sense! Thanks again 😘

[@earnhardt3g]

Hi, getting ready to harvest some cauliflower heads and was looking for a way to use the giant leaves. So glad you made a fantastic video, will be trying your recipe soon. Thks

Hi, thanks for the recipe. I grew cauliflower and broccoli for first time in my garden. Unfortunately they did not develop heads. I think I may have fertilized with too much nitrogen. They grew big beautiful green leaves, just no heads. So my hard work would not go to waste I read that their greens and stems were edible and was looking for info on how to prepare them when I came across your site and a few others. Thanks so much, I will be cooking mine with garlic, onions, chicken stock and a little salt and pepper,

[@jenkitching43]

Hi. I grew cauliflower and broccoli for first time too and mine didn't develop heads either. I don't know why, but I was happy to learn I could use the leaves so all was not lost.

[@AtHomewithSusana]

I was wondering if you had better luck this year! Not sure how I missed your comment last year... So sorry! Have a wonderful day.

Looks fabulous! I don’t grow my veg, but I already keep any leaves/stems from cauliflowers and use in broth with any other discarded veg scraps for soups etc. I will try your recipe - added bonus of keeping any vampires away 😂

😂 garlic is definitely my friend! Thank you for watching!

Hey Susana Thanks for sharing thi recipe....... Will not throughaway the leaves in my next shopping.........I found a lady in the supermarket who was actually looking for the leaves that people usually discarded and thought these leaves might be for cooking or composting.....Interesting that we can eat them.......Thanks :)

[@AtHomewithSusana]

Glad to hear you will give them a try! Would love to hear from you after you make the recipe.

[@Aleenasworld500]

Amazing 🥰👍

[@AtHomewithSusana]

Thanks 🤗

[@narinderchander]

Well done on your experimental cooking. I'd recommend you add a packet of spinach to the boiled leaves and then cook it in curry sauce, which you should be able to buy from your local grocery store or make it yourself with the Indian ingredients. Then you would have made Saag (spinach) curry. If you fry Paneer (hard cheese) and add it to the Saag it makes a delicious meaty curry. You can add chicken to make it a meat Saag curry. Enjoy!

[@AtHomewithSusana]

Sounds delicious! 😋 Thank you for sharing this 😊

[@moniquebell454]

Fantastic just about to harvest my cauliflower can we do the same for broccoli.? I use in smoothies too.

[@AtHomewithSusana]

Hi Monique! I have not used broccoli leaves myself, but I know people use them to make dishes with them. I will too as soon as I get some broccoli growing! Good luck and thanks for your time!

[@arabellalunkes4532]

I just steamed the leaves and the broccoli florets all together yesterday. Super delicious!

[@mitchscriv7794]

I cut up the stems of cauliflower and broccoli into into cubes , and add to stews just like celery , adds texture and taste .

[@AtHomewithSusana]

Hi Ann! Thank you for subscribing and I really appreciate your honest feedback! I'm pretty new, still learning all this YT world 😅 Thanks again!

[@rondamccartin7910]

Ok let me try to be a help here. Even though water from cooking the leaves where saved for soup and the flavour and nutrition will be in tge beautiful soup, now though by boiling the leaves a lot of the nutritional value have been removed. Eating the leaves with the garlic is a good idea but I feel would have been better if you steam or stir fried the beautiful leaves . Another thing though there are many atm showing recipes using cauliflower leaves but Every one is throwing the stalks away. I love to eat the smaller leaves and stalks raw . I've never seen the larger leaves shown here even when I've grown my self they have never grown so tall as if they were spinach, but wash and try snacking on the stalks. If the large stalk are to tough or stringy maybe next time you buy from the shop don't throw away the leaves that cover the cauliflower If you want a healthier snack try them.

[@AtHomewithSusana]

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, the stalks were super tough.

[@jenniferjoseph5914]

You can make lag Genia with cheese

[@AtHomewithSusana]

I'll have to find out more about that! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@hereitis.2587]

Add it to your baked barbecue meat. It can absorb all the extra fat. The vegetables will taste like chunks of meat when it all cooks long enough. Yum!

[@AtHomewithSusana]

Not a bad idea! Thank you!

[@hereitis.2587]

@ I’m going to get all involved with it. First I’ll boil the meat for twenty minutes to purge it of toxins and crumbly fat. Then cool in vinegar water and let dry. Then place in a container with my homemade secret sauce and marinate overnight. When ready, heat fat and fry the meat to get a caramel coating. Then place in slow cooker with more secret saucy stuff. Then fry the chunks of cauliflower and broccoli stems have them absorb all the fat. Add to slow cooker. Go to sleep. Yum in the morning for breakfast on a baked sweet potato 🍠 !

A superfood indeed. However when you boiled them you destroyed a large percent of their vitamins.

Hi! You are probably right! But, the leaves can be pretty tough and that seemed the best option. You can definitely use the broth for soups.

The high calcium content in this leaf .......risk of kidney stones

I guess all is good in moderation, for someone who is not supposed to have high calcium in their diet should stay away 😉 Thank you for your feedback
