Cauliflower And Arugula Honey Sesame Salad Food

CAULIFLOWER AND ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• In a skillet on medium-high heat, saute the bacon for 5 minutes, stirring often, until brown and crispy. Drain the bacon on paper towel and set aside.
• Remove the excess bacon fat from the pan. Add the blanched cauliflower and butter and cook stirring often, to coat them with the butter for 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Add the honey and 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Let the cauliflower brown, about 5 more minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Meanwhile, in a bowl mix the arugula, shallots, remaining red wine vinegar, and olive oil. Season the salad with salt, and pepper, to taste.
• When ready to serve, mix the arugula salad with the cauliflower and garnish with pine nuts.

HONEYDEW AND ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Cut 1/2 honeydew melon into small, thin pieces. Puree 1/2 cup of the melon pieces with 1/3 cup mixed fresh herbs, 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and salt and pepper. Toss with 10 ounces baby arugula and 1 cup of the melon pieces. Season with salt and pepper.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER SALAD WITH HALLOUMI AND LEMON

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees and set a large rimmed baking sheet on the middle rack.
• In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower with 3 tablespoons olive oil, the Aleppo, coriander, turmeric, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Transfer to the hot baking sheet, spread in an even layer and roast until browned in spots and crisp-tender, tossing once halfway through, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, stir together the shallot, raisins, preserved lemon, vinegar and honey with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
• Prepare the halloumi: Cut the halloumi into 3/4-inch cubes and pat dry using a kitchen towel or paper towels. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high. Add the halloumi cubes and cook, stirring frequently, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. (You'll want to be fairly attentive, flipping frequently, as you want to make sure the cubes toast without burning or melting.) Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season with pepper.
• Toss the arugula with half the vinaigrette until lightly coated and divide among plates or shallow bowls. Top with the cauliflower, halloumi and avocado. Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette, sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH SESAME

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, oil, salt, coriander, oregano, and pepper and toss well to evenly coat the cauliflower with the oil and spices. Transfer to a sheet pan and arrange in an even layer, making spaces between the pieces as much as possible. Roast the cauliflower in the oven for 20 minutes, turning the tray and lightly tossing the pieces halfway through.
• While the cauliflower roasts, combine the tahini, miso, vinegar, and 1 1/2 tablespoons water in a small mixing bowl, and whisk until smooth.
• Once the cauliflower is done, remove it from the oven, transfer to a mixing bowl, and toss with the sauce and sesame seeds to coat evenly.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Place the arugula in a very large bowl, ideally one that could hold twice as many leaves. Drizzle over the olive oil and use your hands to toss lightly, then add the lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Lightly toss the greens until they are evenly glossy; avoid overmixing or crushing the greens.
• Add the Parmesan and toss just to incorporate. Taste. If the salad is too sharp, add another drop of oil and toss. If the salad is dull, add a sprinkle of salt and some lemon juice and toss. Eat right away.

CAULIFLOWER WITH SESAME SEEDS

Steps:

• Heat oil until smoking, add cumin and allow to crackle.
• Add onions, turmeric and a pinch of salt then stir continuously until the onions turn a pale golden brown.
• Add dried red chillies, sesame seeds, garlic and half the ginger.
• Continue to cook for a few moments then add cauli. Stir to coat then cover and cook on a low heat for 7 - 10 minutes or until just tender.
• Remove lid and increase heat. Add green chillies and remaining ginger and stir briskly.
• Serve garnished with the chopped coriander.
