Cauliflower With Capers And Lemon Food

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH LEMON-CAPER VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat broiler to high. Combine cauliflower, 1 1/2 tablespoons oil, and thyme in a large bowl. Spread cauliflower mixture in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet. Broil 8 to 10 minutes or until browned and tender, stirring once after 4 minutes.
• Combine remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil, rind, juice, capers, mustard, pepper, and salt in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add roasted cauliflower; toss to coat.

CAULIFLOWER WITH CAPERS AND LEMON

Steps:

• Place cauliflower into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain.
• Mix olive oil, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, capers, anchovy paste, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Reserve remaining lemon zest for another use.
• Place cauliflower in a bowl and pour dressing over top. Add Parmesan cheese and thyme; mix until completely coated.

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.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH CRISPY CAPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Toss the cauliflower in a large bowl with 1/3 cup oil and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper until well coated. Spread out onto 2 rimmed baking sheets. Roast until tender, stirring once or twice, about 30 minutes.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the capers and cook just until they burst and crisp, about 1 minute. Evenly pour over the cauliflower, add the parsley and toss to coat. Season with additional salt and pepper.

CHARRED CAULIFLOWER, LEMON & CAPER ORZO

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high. Toss the cauliflower with half the oil and some seasoning. Tip onto a baking tray and grill for 15-20 mins until golden, charred, and tender all the way through.
• Meanwhile, cook the orzo in a pan of boiling salted water for 8 mins, or until al dente. Drain.
• Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and sizzle the capers and garlic until golden. Stir in the orzo, cauliflower, lemon zest and juice and the stock. Bubble for 1 min, then spoon half into a bowl and top with the rocket. Leave the leftovers to cool for the lunchbox, see tip below.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH LEMON ZEST, PARSLEY, CAPERS, AND JALAPEÑO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with the oil, season generously with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Roast the cauliflower, tossing the florets halfway through, until they are deep golden and crispy, 30 to 35 minutes total.
• While the cauliflower is roasting, use a vegetable peeler to peel 3 strips of zest from the lemon. Cut each strip crosswise into very thin slices. Cut the lemon in half, reserving one half and storing the other for another use.
• Transfer the roasted cauliflower to a serving bowl. Top it with the parsley, capers, jalapeño, and sliced lemon zest. Squeeze the mixture with the lemon half and drizzle it with more oil. Toss to coat all of the ingredients, and sprinkle with a pinch or two of the flaky salt.

CAULIFLOWER WITH CAPERS, BLACK OLIVES AND CHILES

Steps:

• Trim the cauliflower, and break the head apart into florets.
• On a chopping board, combine the olives, capers, parsley and lemon zest, and chop together to mix well.
• Bring a pot of water large enough to hold the cauliflower to a rolling boil. Add a big pinch of salt, and when it returns to a boil, add the florets. Cook until the florets are just barely tender, about 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a skillet large enough to hold all the ingredients, warm the chile flakes and the garlic in the oil over medium-low heat until hot, about 3 or 4 minutes. The chile and garlic should be starting to melt in the oil, rather than sizzling and browning. Stir in the lemon juice, and cook for another 2 minutes, then add the olive-caper mix, give it a stir, take it off the heat and set aside.
• Drain the cauliflower well, shaking the colander. Combine the cauliflower with the olive-caper dressing in the skillet, and set the skillet back on medium heat. Warm it up to serving temperature, taste to make sure the seasoning is right and serve.
