LEMONY CAULIFLOWER WITH GARLIC AND HERBS
There aren't many cauliflower salads as vivacious as this one, which is zipped up with plenty of lemon, herbs, garlic and one minced jalapeño. It is best made a day or two ahead, which gives all the ingredients a chance to mingle, and the raw cauliflower time to soften and absorb all of the dressing's bright, complex flavors. Although this salad needs no other seasonings, you can add capers, sliced olives or crumbled feta here for even saltier tang. The pinch of red-pepper flakes here is optional, but especially good.

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.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER, BROCCOLI, AND GARLIC
A whole head of garlic is roasted along with broccoli florets and cauliflower, basically making your appetizer and side dish in the same pan. Now, do not be alarmed when you get to the part where the foil comes off and you look at the very dark colored broccoli...after the final 30 minutes of roasting, the veggies are so tender and delicious. I normally only like my broccoli to be crisp tender and bright green, but in this recipe I thought the taste made up for its less attractive color.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place cauliflower and broccoli into a 9 X 13 inch baking dish, toss with the about 2 Tbsp of olive oil, and sprinkle with salt.
- Cut a bit of the top and sides off the unpeeled whole garlic head, exposing as many of the cloves as possible.
- Tuck the garlic head into one corner of the same pan and drizzle the head with the remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil (I also pick out any slivers of garlic from the parts I trimmed off and toss them into the pan with the veggies).
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 1/2 hour.
- Remove the cover, stir just the florets and cook for 30 minutes more, until vegetables are tender and nicely browned (yes, the broccoli will be a very dark green).
- Meanwhile, slice baguette bread into thin bias-cut ovals.
- Toast in a toaster oven until lightly toasted (to your liking).
- When the veggies are ready, serve the florets in a serving dish, and place the garlic head onto a plate surrounded by your toasted bread ovals; remove some of the garlic using a butter knife and spread on slices as a paste.

- Heat a medium sauté pan or wok over medium heat.

BROCCOLI OR CAULIFLOWER WITH GARLIC AND LEMON, TWO WAYS
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt. Plunge the vegetable into the boiling water and cook until fairly tender, 3 to 6 minutes, depending on the size of your pieces. Drain and plunge into a bowl of ice water or run under cold water. Drain again.
- Put 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, if using, and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is golden, about 3 minutes. Add the drained vegetable and turn the heat to high. Cook, stirring only when necessary-you don't want the broccoli to fall apart-until the vegetable begins to brown; add the lemon zest and cook for another minute or two.
- Add the remaining olive oil and the lemon juice, taste and adjust the seasoning, and serve hot or at room temperature.
- Alternative method
- Skip step 1. In step 2, start with 1/4 cup olive oil (and, if you like, add a dried chile). Thirty seconds after adding the garlic, add the broccoli or cauliflower and 1/4 cup water. Cover the pan. Cook, uncovering and stirring occasionally, until the vegetable is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning and serve.

Tips:
- Select the freshest vegetables: Choose broccoli and cauliflower florets that are firm and brightly colored. Avoid any that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the florets are too large, they may not cook through properly.
- Use a large skillet or wok: This will give the vegetables plenty of room to cook without crowding them.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the vegetables and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Add the vegetables to the skillet in batches: This will prevent them from steaming instead of sautéing.
- Stir the vegetables frequently: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Season the vegetables to taste: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good options.
- Add lemon juice and zest: This will brighten up the flavors of the vegetables.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Parsley, basil, or chives are all good choices.
Conclusion:
This simple yet flavorful dish is a great way to enjoy the health benefits of broccoli and cauliflower. It is a versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. The lemon and garlic add a bright and tangy flavor that complements the vegetables perfectly.
