    Cauliflower and Bacon Hash Recipe

    The juicy sizzle of bacon hitting a hot pan and the rich aroma of onions frying in the bacon fat is guaranteed to wake up even the most grouchy of early risers, whether it’s the prelude to a day out in the weather or just another commute to the office.

    If you’re not keen on potatoes, though, finding the ingredients for a satisfying hash can be something of a challenge: bacon and onions are all very well, but a real breakfast needs a little more oomph too it.

    Cauliflower and bacon Hash

    Enter cauliflower: it browns up perfectly in the pan, soaks up the flavor of the bacon and spices, and provides the body and texture that you expect from a real hash, not to mention a healthy dose of the added nutrition (especially Vitamins C and K).

    Don’t skip the spices, either: paprika adds a smoky, savory undertone, and the lemon juice brightens everything up, so all the bacon fat doesn’t make it too heavy. For a complete breakfast, fry up some eggs on the side and serve them atop a big bed of hash: yum!

    This isn’t just a breakfast meal, though; it’s also a warm and satisfying side to accompany soups or meat dishes. Try it with some bratwurst or roast beef or anything else that could use a hearty scoop of something to really make it a meal.

    It’s quick and comfortingly familiar, and it’s sure to warm up your stomach at any time of day.
