Seasoned Cauliflower Saute Food

ULTIMATE SAUTEED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Thinly slice the peppers. Slice the onion. Cut the carrot into thin rounds, on the bias. Cut the broccoli into small florets.
• Toss the vegetables in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil and the oregano, kosher salt and plenty of fresh ground black pepper.
• In large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes until tender and lightly charred, stirring occasionally. Taste and add a few pinches of additional salt to taste. Serve immediately.

PARMESAN-ROASTED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Remove the outer green leaves from the cauliflower and cut the head into florets, discarding the stems. Place the florets on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Toss well. Bake for 30 minutes, tossing once, until the cauliflower is tender and starts to brown. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and Gruyere and bake for 1 to 2 more minutes, just until the cheese melts. Season to taste and serve hot or warm.

SEASONED CAULIFLOWER SAUTE

Steps:

• Toast cumin seeds in a small, dry skillet over medium-low heat until aromatic, about 2 minutes, shaking pan to avoid burning. Set aside.
• Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-low heat. When oil is hot, add mustard and cumin seeds; after a few seconds seeds will pop. Immediately add chiles and sliced cauliflower; saute, stirring often to keep from burning, until just tender and golden brown around the edges, about 8 minutes. The cauliflower should be al dente, tender but with some texture, not soft.
• Stir in chopped cilantro just before removing mixture from pan. Drizzle with lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Garnish with chile slices and cilantro leaves. The saute is best served right away.

SEASONED ROASTED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place cauliflower florets in a large bowl. Drizzle oil over top and add paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and cumin; toss together with a spoon or your hands. Spread in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until the edges are browned and crisp, about 30 minutes, stirring once or twice during the cooking time. Season with salt and pepper.

SAUTEED VEGETABLES

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.

• Add the cauliflower and cook a few minutes, stirring, until completely coated in oil.
• Sprinkle with kosher salt to taste and serve.
