Cauliflower Capsicum Delight Recipes

CAULIFLOWER DELIGHT CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Separate cauliflower into small florets and steam over boiling water for about 10 minutes.
• Place cauliflower in an 8" square baking dish.
• Melt butter over medium heat in a saucepan, then stir in flour for about 1 minute.
• Gradually whisk in milk and simmer, whisking until thick for about 8 minutes.
• Add cheddar cheese, dry mustard, salt and pepper until cheese is melted.
• Pour cheese sauce over cauliflower.
• In a small bowl, mix together bread crumbs, Parmesan and parsley and sprinkle over cauliflower mixture.
• Bake at 400° until bubbly and golden, about 15 minutes.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH FETA, ALMONDS AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower with the olive oil. Season well with the salt, pepper and red-pepper flakes, if using, and toss again. Spread the mixture evenly onto a large sheet pan and roast until crisp and golden, about 25 to 30 minutes, tossing halfway through to ensure even browning.
• Meanwhile, toast the almonds in a skillet over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to ensure they don't burn, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Once the cauliflower is roasted, toss it in a large bowl with the feta cheese, olives, half the almonds and 1 tablespoon parsley until combined. Top with remaining almonds and parsley, and lemon. Season with flaky salt, if desired.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place cauliflower in a large mixing bowl. Pour on enough olive oil to coat (a few tablespoons). Season generously with salt and pepper and toss gently until evenly coated.
• Lay cauliflower pieces out on a baking sheet. Drizzle any remaining oil from the bowl on top. Bake, turning once, until caramelized on edges and tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, as a side dish. You can also sprinkle it with a very good aged vinegar. Or, cut florets into smaller pieces and add to salads.
