Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 head cauliflower, cut into small florets (about 6 cups)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup milk
3 cups vegetable broth
1 (14 ounce) can white beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup shredded cheese, like sharp cheddar or 1/2 cup havarti cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon bacon fat
3 cups chopped kale
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb shrimp (enough for 4 people)
3 good shakes garlic salt, chili powder, cayenne, and or black pepper

Steps:

  • For the shrimp: Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot. Add the cauliflower and garlic. Saute for a minute or two, until the garlic is really fragrant. Add the milk and 2 cups broth. Simmer for 10 minutes or until soft. Add the while beans and mash roughly with the back of a large wooden spoon - I loved the rustic, chunky texture of this. Stir in the cornmeal and things will start to thicken a bit. Adjust the consistency by adding in the last cup of broth as needed. Stir in the salt and cheese and season to taste.
  • For the kale: Heat the bacon fat in a nonstick skillet over medium low heat. Add the greens and garlic and saute until softened. For the kalettes, I added a little water at the end to sort of steam them to finish them off. Remove kale and wipe out pan with a paper towel.
  • For the shrimp: In the same skillet, add the oil over medium heat. Pat the shrimp dry. Add to the pan and sprinkle with seasonings to taste. Cook for just a few minutes and then add a quick splash of water or broth to the pan (about 2 tablespoons) to pull the browned bits and spices into something of a saucy-coating for the shrimp. It's delicious.
  • Serve the shrimp and kale over a big pile of cauliflower mash! SO yummy.
