MASHED COCONUT CRÈME CAULIFLOWER WITH LEMONGRASS GINGER AND CILANTRO.

Steps:

• Peel ginger, cut cilantro stems away from tops and cut lemongrass stalks into four quarters. In a med size pot place quartered lemongrass stalks, ginger skins and cilantro stems in water. Bring to boil then simmer. Lemongrass stalks will release small amount of dirt. Carefully ladle liquid to a bowl leaving lemongrass, cilantro stems, ginger skins and any dirt behind. Remove pot's contents and return to burner. Add liquid back pot along with cauliflower and simmer. Peel back outer layers of several of the lemongrass pieces till the core is found. Finely chop the lemongrass cores along with cilantro leaves. When cauliflower softens, remove any remaining liquid and remove from heat. Mash cauliflower adding the chopped lemongrass cores and cilantro. Season with white or pink pepper and salt. Fold in mixed coconut milk and crème.

GINGER-CAULIFLOWER SOUP

Steps:

• In a large stock pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add the lemongrass and half the ginger and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cauliflower, potato and garlic, then add the stock. Bring to a boil over high, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the cauliflower and potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon ginger with the scallions, cilantro, vinegar, lime zest and juice, honey and the remaining 1/4 cup grapeseed oil. Whisk together and season with salt. Set aside. The relish will marinate and the scallions soften as it sits.
• Remove and discard the lemongrass stalk from the soup. Using an immersion blender (or working in batches in a traditional blender), purée the soup until smooth. Add additional water, if needed, to thin the soup. Season to taste with salt.
• Serve the soup topped with the ginger-scallion relish, and serve with a slice of buttered toast.
