My grandmother never let anything go waste, no sirree!. One of her signature 'recipes from scrap' was a quick relish made from the crisp center of Cauliflower stems. Finely dice the white crunchy centre, add a dash of cayenne pepper, salt and a spoon of freshly powdered mustard. Pour smoking hot sesame oil & squeeze the juice of one lime. To this day, I can't bear to see a cauliflower stem go waste!
<br />The heat from the crushed mustard is similar to that emitted by horseradish, since they're from the same family. I usually make carrots this way for a quick spicy accompaniment to Indian Roti & dal, makes for an unusual salad/relish. The mustard in this recipe has been relegated to a supporting role, providing the texture. while the horseradish assumes the responsibility of providing that unique stinging heat.
