Middle Eastern Crunch: Turmeric Pickled Cauliflower image

The Casbah in Lawrence, KS puts these in their house salad. This is my favorite burger joint EVER but, the pickled vegetables in the salad are so delicious they are freaky tasty. I had to buy the cookbook from the chef's Robert and Molly Krause. Because of their book, I want to start canning. :D "Pickles are a great way to use up a garden bounty and eat more vegetables. Beyond snacking, they taste great in salads, with dips or hummus, or atop a sandwich." - The Cook's Book of Intense Flavors

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili flakes next time.

I found the turmeric flavor to be too overpowering. I would recommend using less turmeric next time.

This recipe is too time-consuming for me. I don't have the time to wait for the cauliflower to pickle for a week.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pickled cauliflower turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor.

I'm not a big fan of turmeric, but I actually really enjoyed this recipe. The turmeric flavor is very subtle and it doesn't overpower the other flavors in the dish.

I'm not a big fan of cauliflower, but this recipe changed my mind. The pickling process really mellows out the flavor of the cauliflower and makes it much more palatable.
