You know what else is alright? This recipe, thats what. The recipe calls for 3/4 cup of beer so of course I bought a 24. I wanted to make sure we had enough. The recipe didn't specify what kind of beer, it just said no stouts or heavy beers. Luckily I have sampled one or two beers in my lifetime and knew a thing or two. We decided to use my fathers favourite, Miller Genuine Draft or MGD as the pros refer to it.
First we cut the cauliflower into florets (A name given to tiny cauliflower pieces) and I was able to do that no sweat. It said to first warm the beer in a saucepan. I suggested we try to warm it in my mouth first but after two to four....teen attempts we decided a saucepan was best. Ms. Boyardee warmed the beer with veggie broth, lime juice, tamarin, sriracha and of course garlic in the saucepan for a couple minutes then added the cauliflower.
We added the spices to the mixture which included chilli powder, smoked paprika, cumin (make sure you pronounce this correctly), garlic powder, and salt. We then stirred it "'til those fuckers are coated" and put it in the oven at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes.
During this 20 minutes we then got to make the coleslaw cause we are the most efficient humans possible. The slaw contains green cabbage, small carrot (into stupid matchsticks), lime juice, rice vinegar, olive oil, salt and cilantro. Go easy on the cilantro cause too much can be overpowering.
DING DING DING, wow perfect timing, slaw is done as the cauliflower finishes. Like I planned it or something... By 'I' , I clearly mean Mrs. Boyardee. I was busy sampling more beers. We heated the tortillas up, tossed the cauliflower mixture in with some slaw and topped it with some sliced avocado, salsa, and greek plain yogurt. This thing was UNREAL but it just needed a little fromage (thats french for cheese), and that comment may be a common theme of this blog.
Please note the delicate skill of cutting the avocados. Yea that was me. Now before you scroll down. Let's let you be the judge of who the better hand model is.
Notice the cocked wrist, saucy fingers, and general disarray in her form. Ms. Boyardee better stick to her day job. Extra points given to her for the ROCK on her finger though. Her husband must be humble.....
Wow. Neutral hand positioning and wrist, perfect finger position. UNREAL food placement. I think there's a future for me in the hand modelling business.
