Our families are full of storytellers who never thought of themselves that way — they wrote their love in cast iron, in a pinch of this, a little of that, and in recipes that never got written down.
I’m here to change that.
This is the work of saving our food history before it slips away, and inviting you to remember your own.

Cauliflower dates and pistachios with a zesty lemon dressing. A pretty simple clean-out-the-fridge side dish or salad that you may just become obsessed with

3 cups cauliflower, cut into bite sized pieces (i used a cauliflower medley)
2-3 green onions, sliced
6-7 dates, seeded, chopped
1/3 cup pistachios, rough chopped
2 tablespoons butter or EVOO
1 1/2 Tablespoon whole grain mustard
1 lemon (zest and juice)
splash of white wine
handful of grapes (optional but they were in season)
salt and pepper

In a pan on medium heat toast pistachios remove from pan and place in a bowl. To the bowl add the zest and juice of a lemon, mustard, green onions. Set aside
On high heat sauté cauliflower in butter/evoo until a nice char is on them. Splash with white wine to let them steam a bit. Add dates to pan to help soften/rehydrate if needed.
Add to bowl with a handful of grapes, toss and serve room temp. Salt and pepper to taste.
