Cauliflower With Herbs Recipes

HERB MASHED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the cauliflower and let cook until fork-tender, about 8 minutes. Drain thoroughly and transfer to a food processor. Add the Greek yogurt, butter, garlic, dill, and parsley and process until creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste, add the Parmesan, and process until just combined.
• Transfer to a bowl and garnish with more dill and parsley. Serve hot.

CAULIFLOWER WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Remove and discard any green leaves that remain on cauliflower. Cut cauliflower into flowerets, each about 3 inches in diameter. Put pieces in a saucepan and add cold water to cover. Add milk and salt. Bring to boil and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
• Heat butter in a heavy skillet and add cauliflower pieces. Cook without stirring until cauliflower is browned on one side. Sprinkle with coriander and parsley and serve.

LEMONY CAULIFLOWER WITH GARLIC AND HERBS

Steps:

• Finely grate the zest of the lemon into a large heatproof bowl, then halve the lemon and squeeze in juice. Stir in salt to dissolve it. Add cauliflower, jalapeño, scallions, dill and parsley and toss to combine. In a large skillet, heat olive oil until hot, but not smoking. Add garlic and cumin, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in red-pepper flakes.
• Pour mixture over cauliflower and toss well. Let cool completely, then cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 48 hours to let the flavors mingle.
• Toss well before serving, adding more salt or a squeeze of lemon to taste. For the best flavor, serve at room temperature.

GARLIC AND HERB CAULIFLOWER CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or silicone baking mats and spray with cooking spray.
• Microwave the cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl on high, stopping and stirring halfway through, until tender, about 2 minutes; let cool for 5 minutes.
• Put the cauliflower in a clean towel and squeeze out any liquid. Transfer to a medium bowl and add the Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
• Scoop heaping-tablespoon mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart (10 to 12 to a sheet). Shape and flatten the mounds into small discs, about 2 1/2-inches wide.
• Bake until the edges of the crisps are deep golden brown, about 14 minutes. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before serving; the crisps will firm up as they cool.

SPICED CAULIFLOWER WITH CHICKPEAS, HERBS & PINE NUTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the cauliflower, garlic, spices, 2 tbsp oil and some seasoning in a roasting tin, then roast for 30 mins.
• Add the chickpeas, pine nuts and remaining oil to the tin, then cook for 10 mins more. To serve, stir in the herbs with your chosen dressing.

ROASTED HERB & LEMON CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. Place cauliflower in an ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil and toss to coat. Roast 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and tender, stirring occasionally., In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients; stir in remaining oil. Transfer cauliflower to a large bowl; drizzle with herb mixture and toss to combine.

WHOLE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH ALMOND-HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oven while you prepare the cauliflower: Place a heavy oven-proof skillet (a cast-iron skillet looks very nice) or a baking sheet in the oven and turn the heat to 375 degrees. Place a small pan of hot water on the floor of the oven, to create steam.
• Break off and discard the outer leaves from the cauliflower. Cut off the bottom of the stem, and then use the tip of a small, sharp knife to cut off the leaves close to the stem. Carefully cut out the hard core of the cauliflower, near the bottom. Leave the main stem intact and make sure not to cut through any of the florets.
• Rinse the cauliflower (leave the water clinging to the outside) and place on a work surface, core side up. Drizzle with olive oil and use your hands to rub over the cauliflower until evenly coated. Sprinkle with salt.
• Place the cauliflower on the hot pan in the oven, core side down, and cook until very tender all the way through when pierced with a knife, at least 1 hour or up to 2 hours. During the cooking, baste 2 or 3 times with more olive oil. It should brown nicely. If you have a convection feature, use it toward the end of baking to brown the crust.
• Make the sauce: In a small frying pan, toast nuts over low heat, shaking often, just until golden and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
• Soak anchovies, if using, for 5 minutes in cool water. Rinse and set aside on paper towels.
• In a food processor, combine almonds, anchovies, garlic and butter and pulse until smooth. Mix in oil, then vinegar. Mix in herbs and red pepper flakes, if using. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• When cauliflower is tender, remove from the oven. (If desired, run it briefly under the broiler first to brown the surface; there is no need to do this if you used convection.)
• Serve cauliflower in the skillet or from a serving plate. Cut into wedges and spoon sauce around each wedge.
