Lemongrass cauliflower
Lemongrass is a type of grass grown most commonly in Thailand and Vietnam. It has a mild citrus flavor and is used as an herb flavoring in curries. If you can’t find it fresh, try finding it dried, but many supermarkets do have it. Besides of its incredible and unique flavor, lemongrass has a whole list of health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and antidepressant qualities.

Notes & Tips:
If you can’t find lemongrass, I wouldn't try and substitute it for something else. Instead, save this recipe for when you do find lemongrass. Serve this dish with rice or rice noodles.
