Help!!! Need a Recipe for Sicilian Cauliflower

Went to our local farmers market yesterday and couldn’t resist picking up one of these massive Sicilian cauliflowers.  They are in season right now and I have been too intimidated by them over the past few years because they are quite the commitment with their size.  What on earth can I do with this thing??  It has been sitting here in the kitchen for a day just mocking me.  Anyone know any recipes that they can share?

These things are monsters! look at it next to the spice bottle for perspective! I love the purple coloring that they have here, which I have only seen here in Sicily.

  1. My beautiful grandmother taught me a great recipe. You steam the califlower, mash it after you drain it really well. Mix as you would for a meatball. Make a patty, then fry in olive oil. Top with a little marinara and Romano. This is one of our family favs!

    1. Oh wow! that sounds really good. I like how different it is. The sauce on top will probably help us trick Luca into eating it too! Grazie!
