Cauliflower With Herbs Food

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.

BARLEY, CAULIFLOWER, AND HERBS WITH BURRATA

Steps:

• Meanwhile, toss breadcrumbs with 1 tablespoon oil on another rimmed baking sheet; season with salt. Bake, tossing once, until golden brown, 10-12 minutes; let cool.
• Bring milk to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; season with salt. Add cauliflower and cook until just softened, about 3 minutes; drain well. Discard milk.
• Toss cauliflower, barley, breadcrumbs, shallot, celery hearts, celery leaves, parsley, parsley stems, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vinegar in a bowl; season salad with salt.
• Mix burrata and crème fraîche in a medium bowl; season with salt. Divide burrata mixture among plates, drizzle with oil, and top with barley salad; season with pepper.
• DO AHEAD: Barley can be cooked 1 day ahead; cover and chill. Breadcrumbs can be toasted 1 day ahead; store airtight at room temperature.

LEMON HERB CAULIFLOWER RICE STIR FRY

Steps:

• RICE CAULIFLOWER (and BUTTERNUT SQUASH if using): Wash cauliflower and pat dry well. Cut into 2 inch chunks. You will need to process cauliflower (and squash) in 2-3 batches. Place chunks in bowl with regular chopping blade. Pulse until cauliflower is small rice size. Repeat until all cauliflower (and butternut squash) is riced. Note 3. If riced cauliflower feels moist, pat dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible. I almost never have to do this.
• COOK CAULIFLOWER/SQUASH RICE: Heat butter or oil in large skillet to Medium. Add cauliflower (and squash) 'rice'. Stir for 1 minute. Cover and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until veggies are tender but not mushy.

WHOLE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH HERB-MUSTARD GLAZE

Steps:

• Make the roasted garlic: Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Cut the top 1 inch off the garlic heads and place on a large sheet of foil, cut-sides up. Drizzle with the olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Wrap the foil around the garlic heads and bake until the garlic is browned and soft, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and unwrap. When cool enough to handle, squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skins. You should have about 1 cup roasted garlic.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, make the glaze: Combine the roasted garlic, olive oil, Dijon mustard, shallot, vegan mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons pepper, the sage and rosemary in a blender and puree until smooth. Transfer the glaze to a bowl and stir in the grainy mustard.
• Working in batches if needed, add the cauliflower to the boiling water and cook until slightly puffed and yellowed, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and let cool.
• Preheat the oven to 400˚ F (use the convection setting, if available). Transfer the cauliflower to a rimmed baking sheet. Brush with the sunflower oil and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons each salt and pepper. Bake 10 minutes.

HERBY CAULIFLOWER SALAD WITH CHICKPEAS

• To make the dressing, whisk the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt together until creamy and emulsified.
• Add the chickpeas, herbs, pickled onions, and the dressing to the cauliflower. Toss until everything is evenly coated. Taste, and then season with additional salt, pepper or lemon juice.
• The cauliflower salad does taste best when given some time to marinate. When possible, let the salad marinate, stirring from time to time, for at least 30 minutes before serving. The salad will keep, covered in the refrigerator, up to one week.
