You are soo hilarious and beautiful 😍 I can say your presentation is one of the best. I mistakenly cooked cauliflower leaves for collard greens when there's no cauliflower on it. Today I saw your video and was extremely happy with your happy video You hair is beautiful 😍
Thanks for your recipe , yes I use it .. 1. Finely chopped green leaves added seasoned with chopped garlic , green chillies, onion Top with grated fresh coconut . 2. Leaves are coated underside with paste of gram floor mixed with salt and spices and tamarind ,jaggery . 3 Leaves are layered on top of each alternating with gram paste . Then all are rolled over to make a log . Steamed in a steamer , then cut into slices when cooled and then shallow fried after coating with few sesame seeds . It is an Indian recipe usually with colorama leaves , but I invented this recipe by using my garden harvested large cauliflower leaves . Tasted yummy
I just had to cut my cauliflower before it flowered out. The plant leaves looked so pretty I hated to waste them. Now I know what to do with them. Thank you.
Thanks for the recipe. Just a little tip: for green leafy vegetables you clean them before cutting. 1.not to lose some nutrients 2. To clean thoughroughly along the veins. Just incase there's some mad from watering you'll be able to clean well when still whole. Thank you
Susana, I have 6 cauliflower plants in my garden and lots of leaves. Just this morning I par blanched about 20 leaves, and frozen them. Then I found your video. Great minds think alike 😉
Hi, getting ready to harvest some cauliflower heads and was looking for a way to use the giant leaves. So glad you made a fantastic video, will be trying your recipe soon. Thks
Hi, thanks for the recipe. I grew cauliflower and broccoli for first time in my garden. Unfortunately they did not develop heads. I think I may have fertilized with too much nitrogen. They grew big beautiful green leaves, just no heads. So my hard work would not go to waste I read that their greens and stems were edible and was looking for info on how to prepare them when I came across your site and a few others. Thanks so much, I will be cooking mine with garlic, onions, chicken stock and a little salt and pepper,
Hi. I grew cauliflower and broccoli for first time too and mine didn't develop heads either. I don't know why, but I was happy to learn I could use the leaves so all was not lost.
I have a hydroponic gardyn, I have 2 mini cauliflowers growing, the leaves are huge I am going to try your recipe today. Thank you so so much for this recipe, I will let you know how it turns out.
Thank you for your nice recipe! Your leaves were amazing looking. I just use the green's attached to the ones i buy at the store. I used to throw them away. But many times there are a lot of healthy leaves on the cauliflower so I have been washing them and cutting them up and just roasting along with my other veggies (the flourettes, onions, carrots, potatoes or whatever tossed in olive oil, garlic and seasonings. And they are fine. Taste good. Or when I make pumpkin cauliflower soup, I just include them in and they don't ruin the soup. It's good. But I wanted ti know what people are doing so searched and found you, thank you! And another man who is Asian and he now chops the stem cores and center core up to a small dice and adds it into stir fried rice. He used to just toss them too until his friend served him some once. So people are not necessarily tossing this good thing out anymore. I like your recipe too. And the stock with other added veggies should be great. Who knew they're so healthy! Thank you for sharing your research with us. It's not always available when I buy cauliflower, but now instead of ripping the leaves off I look for a good one with healthy leaves. Oh, I an new to your channel. I don't know how you looked before, but I am sure you were as lovely as you are today. Keep smiling. Thanks, Lisa 😊
Hi Lisa! Thank you for watching and subscribing! I was curious about the leaves as I had more leaves than the actual cauliflower head! I'm glad you shared about another video on how others use the stems. It all makes sense! Thanks again 😘
I have so many lush brassicas right now in the garden. Last year the white moth caterpillars made a mess of them but this year they're gorgeous! Can't wait to use the leaves
Hi, Deborah f😊rom BROOLOO QUeensland Australia. Friend gave me a cauliflower from her garden today, so your recipe will be used soon. Thanks for doing the research.
Hey Susana Thanks for sharing thi recipe....... Will not throughaway the leaves in my next shopping.........I found a lady in the supermarket who was actually looking for the leaves that people usually discarded and thought these leaves might be for cooking or composting.....Interesting that we can eat them.......Thanks :)
Hi Monique! I have not used broccoli leaves myself, but I know people use them to make dishes with them. I will too as soon as I get some broccoli growing! Good luck and thanks for your time!
I was lucky! I didn't even think about that possibility until you brought it up. I have more broccoli and cauliflower growing this year, now I'll be paranoid 😅 I guess I'll just inspect every couple days.
Well done on your experimental cooking. I'd recommend you add a packet of spinach to the boiled leaves and then cook it in curry sauce, which you should be able to buy from your local grocery store or make it yourself with the Indian ingredients. Then you would have made Saag (spinach) curry. If you fry Paneer (hard cheese) and add it to the Saag it makes a delicious meaty curry. You can add chicken to make it a meat Saag curry. Enjoy!
May be add some onions and tomato 😀 Wow lots of neurtious stuff in it. Because of kidney issues phosphorus is concern for me ,but I pray over my food in the name of Lord Jesus, so it is ok
Hello, thank you for stopping by. I don't eat that every day 😅 in fact, this was over a couple months. Just trying to make good use of nutritious food. I hope you get better 🙏
Ok let me try to be a help here. Even though water from cooking the leaves where saved for soup and the flavour and nutrition will be in tge beautiful soup, now though by boiling the leaves a lot of the nutritional value have been removed. Eating the leaves with the garlic is a good idea but I feel would have been better if you steam or stir fried the beautiful leaves . Another thing though there are many atm showing recipes using cauliflower leaves but Every one is throwing the stalks away. I love to eat the smaller leaves and stalks raw . I've never seen the larger leaves shown here even when I've grown my self they have never grown so tall as if they were spinach, but wash and try snacking on the stalks. If the large stalk are to tough or stringy maybe next time you buy from the shop don't throw away the leaves that cover the cauliflower If you want a healthier snack try them.
Hello @jackychannel! To me it reminds me of collard greens. They are a bit bitter, but if you add lemon juice to it, it will balance out the taste. Thanks for your support!
Hi Mayank, I'm sorry you didn't feel well after you ate them. I felt fine after eating mine. I made sure to properly wash them and cook them. I can't give any medical advice, but maybe you are sensitive to it? Have a nice week. Hoping you are doing well.
@@AtHomewithSusana I planted them last fall in a grow bag and let them overwinter but they did not grow much after that. Maybe they will grow more now that it is warmer.
You are soo hilarious and beautiful 😍 I can say your presentation is one of the best.
I mistakenly cooked cauliflower leaves for collard greens when there's no cauliflower on it.
Today I saw your video and was extremely happy with your happy video
You hair is beautiful 😍
You are so kind! Thank you!

I'm so glad you will use them! Thank you for stopping by 😊
You are very right... these leaves are far better tasting than Kale ! Two thumbs up! One for the leaves and one for the hair !
I'm glad you like them both 😘

It makes sense. Thank you for that tip! And for your support 😉
I love cauliflower greens. I use onion and garlic, yummy.
May kind of gal 😉
Thank you for the info!!!
TY for watching!
I was looking specifically for videos on eating brassica leaves and your video came up. Thank you!
I'm glad you found what you were looking for!
Susana, I have 6 cauliflower plants in my garden and lots of leaves. Just this morning I par blanched about 20 leaves, and frozen them. Then I found your video. Great minds think alike 😉

Did you like them?
Thank you for sharing your expertise ❤
Thank you so much!
Thank you! I de-stemmed my leaves and blanched them whole in sets of 16 to freeze for making stuffed leaves!
That's a great idea!
Love it thank you for sharing God bless
Thank you! 😊
I just pulled cleaned and used the leave for composting. Thank you for the information now I know.
Compost is always 2nd best 😉
Will definitely cook my leaves
Great! You will like them! Enjoy 😉

I was wondering if you had better luck this year! Not sure how I missed your comment last year... So sorry! Have a wonderful day.
Thank you sooooooo much for the information 🙏⚘️ and the recipes
I'm glad it is helpful for you!
Great timing. I have broccoli and cauliflower leaves. I might also try with added ginger or add a milder green for mixed greens.
I love your ginger idea!
What a nice lady you are. I will definitely try this
Thank you so much 😘
I'm definitely going to give this a try. The idea of those beautiful leaves going to waste would be a terrible waste.
Definitely! You won't be disappointed. They will last you several meals! Enjoy! 😉
I have a hydroponic gardyn, I have 2 mini cauliflowers growing, the leaves are huge I am going to try your recipe today. Thank you so so much for this recipe, I will let you know how it turns out.
Oh wow! I'm impressed! Yes please, let me know!

I'm happy for you that this year you can use them! If you have lots of them, blanch them and freeze them for later use. 😉
Looking forward to try these.
Got a garden with then growing.
Looks like the worms are going to miss out from now on.
Thank you for watching 😉
I am growing cauliflower now! I will give this a try with rice and pasta!
Sounds really good! Would love to know how you like it!

I'm glad you had them!

Thank you so much!
I am going to do the same cooking as i have got alot atm at my back garden...
Let me know what you think!
Hey Susana Thanks for sharing thi recipe.......

Glad to hear you will give them a try! Would love to hear from you after you make the recipe.
Fantastic just about to harvest my cauliflower can we do the same for broccoli.? I use in smoothies too.
Hi Monique! I have not used broccoli leaves myself, but I know people use them to make dishes with them. I will too as soon as I get some broccoli growing! Good luck and thanks for your time!
I just steamed the leaves and the broccoli florets all together yesterday. Super delicious!
Very interesting! You're awesomely precious! Thank you! 🎉
Thank you so much!
Your cauliflower leaves are amazing. How did you keep the cabbage worms from eating your plant?
I was lucky! I didn't even think about that possibility until you brought it up.
I have more broccoli and cauliflower growing this year, now I'll be paranoid 😅
I guess I'll just inspect every couple days.
Super interessant!
Aquest és el vídeo que em porta més gent al canal.
I cut up the stems of cauliflower and broccoli into into cubes , and add to stews just like celery , adds texture and taste .
I love that you do that! Such a waste otherwise!
Loved your content ma'am ❤️👍love from Mangalore
Thank you very much for watching from so far away! 😉
Greens ❤️
Thanks for watching! I love my greens!
Amazing 🥰👍
Thanks 🤗
i agree, pizza crust is good but greens are better!
I love that you love them too!
Any video on your planting for a 5 lb cauliflower? Any tips? Just getting started to grow cauliflower. Waiting.
Hi! I did not do anything special other than water twice a week during the winter. It just grew very large! I hope you have great success with yours!
can use cauliflower, cabbage and broccoli. will try frying. the new hair style really is nice
Thank you! Happy eating ☺️
its really tasty try stir fry it with garlic and dry chilli and a dash of seasame oil its good with white rice
Naline, that sounds really good! I'll have to try it your way!!! Thank you for the suggestion 😘

Yum. I never tried cooking cauli leaves. Everything is better with garlic
It is a great way to use them and with the lemon juice over it, it's delish!
May be add some onions and tomato 😀
Wow lots of neurtious stuff in it.
Because of kidney issues phosphorus is concern for me ,but I pray over my food in the name of Lord Jesus, so it is ok
Hello, thank you for stopping by.
I don't eat that every day 😅 in fact, this was over a couple months.
Just trying to make good use of nutritious food.
I hope you get better 🙏
I’ve cooked it 😄
Nice!
Ok let me try to be a help here.
Even though water from cooking the leaves where saved for soup and the flavour and nutrition will be in tge beautiful soup, now though by boiling the leaves a lot of the nutritional value have been removed.

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, the stalks were super tough.
how does it taste? is it same like kale?
Hello @jackychannel! To me it reminds me of collard greens. They are a bit bitter, but if you add lemon juice to it, it will balance out the taste. Thanks for your support!
less music, more recipes!!! New sub
Hi Ann! Thank you for subscribing and I really appreciate your honest feedback!
I'm pretty new, still learning all this YT world 😅
Thanks again!
I felt really sick after eat them. Maybe I didn't cook them properly ? How did u feel after eating them ?
Hi Mayank, I'm sorry you didn't feel well after you ate them. I felt fine after eating mine. I made sure to properly wash them and cook them. I can't give any medical advice, but maybe you are sensitive to it?
Have a nice week. Hoping you are doing well.
You can make lag Genia with cheese
I'll have to find out more about that! Thank you for sharing 😊
There was a tuna in the background (Lindsay🐈🐈⬛)
Yes she was 😙
My cauliflower leaves are not nearly that big. Can't even get the heads so will use any leaves!
It might not be fully grown?
@@AtHomewithSusana I planted them last fall in a grow bag and let them overwinter but they did not grow much after that. Maybe they will grow more now that it is warmer.
Could you eat the veins?
Hi Tom, the veins are very tough. They would be hard to eat, they are woodsy in texture.
@@AtHomewithSusana ok, thanks 😊
A superfood indeed. However when you boiled them you destroyed a large percent of their vitamins.
Hi! You are probably right! But, the leaves can be pretty tough and that seemed the best option. You can definitely use the broth for soups.
I am going to dry my leaves
Hi Penny! Thank you for your support! How do you use them afterwards?
@@AtHomewithSusana I use them in doups
I will use it in soups
I love the idea!
The high calcium content in this leaf .......risk of kidney stones
I guess all is good in moderation, for someone who is not supposed to have high calcium in their diet should stay away 😉 Thank you for your feedback
