Cauliflower Filo Pie/Pastry I made a post yesterday about my Christmas dinner menu and it was missing a vegetable main. After browsing for ideas, I have decided to make an Indian spiced vegetarian filo pie: cauliflower, onions, celery, potatoes, all precooked with tumeric, cumin, a touch of chili and garam masala. Toss cauliflower in olive oil, curry powder, salt and pepper. Yotam Ottolenghi's curried cauliflower cheese filo pie. The cauliflower steak had its moment - or perhaps a few successive moments - a couple of years.
