25 Jun PRODUCE RECIPE OF THE WEEK: CAULIFLOWER SKEWERS

On sale this week (6/24-6/30): Organic Cauliflower $2.49 each!

This is a basic recipe which is easy to build on. By adding different spices and flavor profiles to the marinade, the skewers can represent many traditions of flavor. Add fresh herbs for a Mediterranean flavor, smoked paprika for a Spanish theme or curry for Indian style. You can replace the lemon with lime and use cilantro and chili powder which can bring in Mexican flavors as well. You can serve the skewers with a variety of sides like beans, rice, corn, couscous, lentils or a simple green salad with fresh tomatoes.
