Saucy Cauliflower Food

SAUTEED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Remove the base of the stem of the cauliflower with a sharp knife.
• From the top down, cut the cauliflower into 1/4 inches slices. (Some of the slices will crumble, but those still taste good, they just don't look as pretty.).
• Heat 2 Table olive oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick frying pan.
• Add one batch of the cauliflower (in a single layer) and cook until brown on the first side. Use a spachula to flip over the cauliflower.
• Fry the cauliflower until brown on the second side, adding more olive oil if needed.
• At this time, I usually add 2-3 Table. water, turn over the cauliflower again, cover and cook for several more minutes.
• Repeat on the second side if the cauliflower is not quite tender. The cauliflower tastes best if it has gotten very brown.
• Sprinkle with salt.
• Remove the first batch, keeping warm, and doing a second and third batch (if you still have cauliflower to cook) until all of the cauliflower has been sauteed.

BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER WINGS

Steps:

• For the cauliflower: Fill a large pot with water. Add the bay leaves, granulated garlic, oregano and thyme to the water and bring to a boil. Add the cauliflower pieces and boil until tender but not mushy, about 10 minutes. Drain the cauliflower and set aside.
• Meanwhile, make the batter: Add the flax meal to the hot water in a small bowl and let sit for about 5 minutes.
• In a separate bowl, mix the flour, granulated garlic, oregano, pepper, salt and thyme. Add the oat milk and flax meal mix and whisk until well combined.
• When the cauliflower is cool enough to handle, toss it into the batter.
• Heat a pan for frying over medium-high heat and fill with about an inch of frying oil. Bring to 350 to 375 degrees F.
• Add the battered cauliflower and cook until golden brown. Strain the cauliflower and toss in your favorite hot sauce. Serve with ranch dressing, carrots and celery.
• Enjoy hot!

SPICY CAULIFLOWER STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Break up the cauliflower into large florets, then use your hands to break into very small florets.
• Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high to high heat. Add the oil, then the cauliflower and garlic. Stir the cauliflower around in the pan, allowing it to get very brown in some parts. Cook for 3 minutes, then turn the heat to low.
• Add the soy sauce, lime juice and most of the green onions, reserving the rest for serving. Stir and allow to cook for 1 minute, then add the sriracha and stir until incorporated. Add a little more sriracha if you want a deeper color and flavor.
• Serve hot in a bowl. Sprinkle the remaining green onions on top and serve with lime wedges.

HOW TO SAUTE CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Prep the cauliflower by washing it and cutting the florets from the stalk. Then cut the florets into bite-sized pieces.
• Place a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the cauliflower, olive oil, and salt to the hot pan. Stir the florets to fully coat them in the olive oil.
• Spread the cauliflower florets out so they have plenty of room in the pan. (If need be to create space, work in batches.)
• Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes or until they start to brown slightly.
• Stir the cauliflower and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the florets are browned and starting to char on the edges.
• Serve immediately.

STICKY CRISPY CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Liberally grease 2 parchment-lined baking sheets with olive oil.
• In a medium-large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic, ginger, and salt. Make a well in the middle and stir in the sparkling water, whisking with a fork to form a smooth batter.
• Add the cauliflower florets and gently toss to coat them evenly in the batter.
• Place the florets onto the baking sheets, allowing a space between each piece to help them crisp up in the oven (if they are too close, they will steam each other). Bake, turning once, until crispy and golden brown, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: Place the brown sugar, ketchup, tamari, vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha and garlic in a small saucepan. Using a wooden spoon, mix well and bring to a gentle, bubbling simmer. Cook, stirring often, until it reduces into a glossy consistency that coats the back of the wooden spoon, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the cauliflower from the oven and tip into a bowl. Drizzle over the sweet and sour sauce, add most of the cilantro and scallions, leaving some behind for garnish, and gently toss to coat each floret.
• Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle over the remaining cilantro and scallions before serving. Enjoy.
