ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH GARLIC AND HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Toss the cauliflower with the olive oil, garlic, thyme and rosemary on a rimmed baking sheet until well coated. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper and toss again.
• Roast, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender, about 20 minutes.

SIMPLE STEAMED CAULIFLOWER WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Bring one to two inches of water to a boil in a large saucepan fitted with a steamer basket over high heat. Add cauliflower to the steamer basket, cover the saucepan, and steam until the cauliflower is tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove the steamer basket from the saucepan, and pour out the water. Empty the cauliflower out of the steamer basket back into the pot. Drizzle on oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Add herbs and toss to coat. Serve immediately.

GARLIC HERB CAULIFLOWER RICE

Steps:

• To turn a head of cauliflower into rice, there are two options. Use a food processor or use a box grater.
• If using a food processor, cut the head of cauliflower into medium chunks and remove the core. Working in batches, add the cauliflower to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the cauliflower is broken down into very small bits that resemble rice (see photo above).
• If using a box grater, cut the head of cauliflower into quarters and remove the core. Use the medium-sized holes to grate each quarter into small bits resembling rice.
• Optional step, for the best cauliflower rice, before cooking, transfer the riced cauliflower to a clean dish towel and press to remove excess moisture.
• Add the almonds to a large skillet over medium heat. Stir the almonds around the pan until they are fragrant and lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Keep a close eye on the nuts since they do toast quickly. Transfer the toasted almonds to a bowl and save for later.
• Return the skillet to the heat and add the butter. When the butter is melted and bubbling, stir in the garlic. Cook the garlic, stirring it around the pan, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add the cauliflower rice, salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook, stirring every once and a while, until the cauliflower rice is crisp-tender and starts to turn light brown in places, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Take the skillet off of the heat, and then stir in the fresh herbs, lemon juice, and toasted almonds. Taste then adjust with additional salt, pepper or lemon juice.

PARMESAN-HERB CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Slice 1 head cauliflower into florets and halve; spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup grated parmesan, 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped mixed thyme and rosemary, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper. Roast at 425 degrees F, 30 minutes; flip and roast 15 more minutes.

GARLIC AND HERB CAULIFLOWER RICE

Steps:

• Cut the cauliflower into large florets. Transfer to a food processor, in batches if necessary, and pulse until the cauliflower resembles rice. Pour into a medium bowl. You should have 3 1/2 to 4 cups of cauliflower rice.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the ghee and garlic; cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Next, add the cauliflower rice. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Once the cauliflower rice has softened and is lightly golden, remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the 3 tablespoons dill, 2 tablespoons chives, and 1 tablespoon parsley. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if desired.
• To serve, scoop the cauliflower rice into a shallow bowl and garnish with more herbs and black pepper.

LEMONY CAULIFLOWER WITH GARLIC AND HERBS

Steps:

• Finely grate the zest of the lemon into a large heatproof bowl, then halve the lemon and squeeze in juice. Stir in salt to dissolve it. Add cauliflower, jalapeño, scallions, dill and parsley and toss to combine. In a large skillet, heat olive oil until hot, but not smoking. Add garlic and cumin, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in red-pepper flakes.
• Pour mixture over cauliflower and toss well. Let cool completely, then cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 48 hours to let the flavors mingle.
• Toss well before serving, adding more salt or a squeeze of lemon to taste. For the best flavor, serve at room temperature.
