KU MLB Curried Cauliflower Dip March 2016

Not to be outdone, Melbourne’s Chef McGuinness has his own fabulous dip recipe!

Curried Cauliflower Dip

2 cups cauliflower- cut in florets and steamed

2 tsp. curry powder, toasted in a dry pan

½ cup silky tofu

¼ cup low fat mayo

1 tsp. toasted sesame oil

2 tsp. low sodium shoyu

1 tsp. black sesame seeds

Place the first six items in a food processor and pulse to a puree (or leave it chunky if you like). Fold in the sesame seeds and chill for at least ½ hour. I like to serve this with Sesame Rice Crackers and ice cold Kirin-maybe a chilled plum wine back, too. Perfect NCAA munchies.
