Cauliflower Steaks With Anchovy And Lemon Butter Food

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER STEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place cauliflower steaks on the prepared baking sheet.
• Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Brush 1/2 of the olive oil mixture over the tops of the cauliflower steaks.
• Roast cauliflower steaks in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Gently turn over each steak and brush with remaining olive oil mixture. Continue roasting until tender and golden, 15 to 20 minutes more.

CAULIFLOWER STEAKS WITH ANCHOVY AND LEMON BUTTER RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 220ºC. Sprinkle the Za'atar over the cauliflower steaks, then place the steaks on a baking tray and drizzle over the olive oil. Bake for 10-15 mins until cooked through.
• Heat the butter in a frying pan over a low heat. Stir in the anchovies, garlic and lemon juice, until the anchovies melt. Add the capers and stock and cook for another minute. Pour this sauce over the cauliflower steaks and serve.

CAULIFLOWER WITH LEMON-CAPER BUTTER

Steps:

• Cook 1 head chopped cauliflower in a steamer basket set over simmering water until tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Cook 3 tablespoons butter with 4 teaspoons capers, 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 mashed anchovy fillet in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until the garlic is soft, 6 to 8 minutes. Toss the cauliflower with the butter mixture, some chopped parsley and the zest and juice of 1/2 lemon. Season with salt and pepper.

CAULIFLOWER STEAKS WITH CAPER BUTTER

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, put a baking sheet on it and preheat to 450 degrees F. Cut the cauliflower through the core into 1-inch-thick steaks. It's fine if some of the end steaks break into florets; just cook them along with the rest.
• Put 2 tablespoons of the butter on the hot baking sheet, return the sheet to the oven and let the butter melt and bubble, about 30 seconds. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and tilt to coat it with butter. Arrange the cauliflower steaks and any stray florets on the baking sheet. Roast until the bottom of the cauliflower is dark brown and almost tender (a knife inserted in the steaks should meet a little resistance), about 12 minutes. Generously sprinkle the cauliflower with salt, flip with a spatula, sprinkle with salt and continue to roast until the cauliflower is tender, about 10 minutes more.
• While the cauliflower roasts, mash the remaining 4 tablespoons butter with a fork in a small bowl. Mash in the parsley, capers, caper brine, lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon salt and one grind of pepper. When the steaks are done, transfer them to a serving platter or individual plates. Dollop some compound butter on top of each steak and scatter any stray florets around them. Serve hot.

CHARRED CAULIFLOWER WITH ANCHOVIES, CAPERS AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Put a large pot of water on the stove and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, with a large knife, cut the cauliflower into quarters. Cut off the tough core at the stem end of each piece. Cut cauliflower quarters into rough 1/2-inch slices. Cut larger slices into several pieces, so all the chopped cauliflower is about the same size.
• Salt boiling water generously and add chopped cauliflower. Cook for 2 minutes, then drain and spread out on a baking sheet to cool.
• In a large bowl, put garlic, anchovy, olives, capers, olive oil, lemon juice and lemon zest. Whisk ingredients together and taste. Adjust salt or lemon juice as necessary.
• Add blanched cauliflower to the bowl. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Add a generous pinch of red-pepper flakes, or add to taste, and toss cauliflower with your hands to coat evenly with dressing.
• Transfer mixture to a shallow baking dish, small roasting pan or sheet pan. (Recipe may be prepared up to this point several hours ahead of baking.)
• To finish, heat oven to 450 degrees. Bake cauliflower, uncovered, for about 20 minutes, until top is browned and beginning to char in some places. For extra char, place dish under broiler for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve at room temperature with a sprinkling of parsley and scallions. Drizzle with a little more olive oil, if desired.

WHOLE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH ANCHOVY SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C/gas 6. Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and set aside to use later. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and blanch the cauliflower for 4-5 mins. Drain well.
• Put the cauliflower in a roasting tin and drizzle all over with olive oil. Season well and roast for 40-50 mins until tender and golden.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Drizzle a little oil in a pan and gently fry the shallots for 10 mins until softened. Add half the garlic and the chilli flakes and cook for a minute more. Add the anchovies and let them dissolve, then add the tomatoes and stock.
• Season and cook for 10-15 mins until the tomatoes have broken down. Add the cream and bubble for another minute.
• Heat the butter in a separate pan with the rest of the garlic and fry the cauliflower leaves with plenty of seasoning. Serve the cauliflower on the buttery leaves, with the anchovy sauce spooned over the top.

GRILLED STEAKS WITH ANCHOVY-LEMON BUTTER

Steps:

• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Using fork, mash first 5 ingredients in bowl until blended. Chill. Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper. Grill or broil to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to plates. Top with anchovy butter.

STEAK WITH ANCHOVY GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Mince garlic and mash to a paste with a pinch of salt using a large heavy knife. Mash together butter, anchovy paste, lemon juice, garlic paste, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until combined well. Stir in parsley.
• Pat steaks dry and sprinkle with salt and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Sauté steaks 1 at a time, turning once, about 8 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
• Top steaks with a dollop of anchovy butter and slice.
