ROASTED CAULIFLOWER GRATIN WITH TOMATOES AND GOAT CHEESE



Roasted Cauliflower Gratin With Tomatoes and Goat Cheese image

Roasting is one of my favorite ways to prepare cauliflower, and I have always loved preparations that pair the vegetable with coriander seeds. I use coriander seeds and cinnamon to season the tomato sauce that I toss with the roasted cauliflower and sautéed red onions, then add a couple of eggs beaten with goat cheese.

Time 1h20m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 medium-size head of cauliflower
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small or 1/2 large red onion, cut in half or quarters (if using a whole onion) lengthwise, then sliced thin across the grain
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 (14 8/10-ounce) can chopped tomatoes in juice
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds, lightly toasted and coarsely ground
2 eggs
2 1/2 ounces soft goat cheese (about 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons)
2 to 3 teaspoon chopped chives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil. Cut away the bottom of the cauliflower stem and trim off leaves. Cut cauliflower into 1/3 inch thick slices, letting the florets on the edges fall off. Toss all of it, including the bits that have fallen away, with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place on baking sheet in an even layer.
  • Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring and flipping over the big slices after 8 minutes, until the slices are tender when pierced with a paring knife and the small florets are nicely browned. Remove from oven and cut large slices into smaller pieces. You should have about 2 cups. Transfer to a large bowl. Turn oven down to 375 degrees.
  • Oil a 1-1/2 to 2-quart baking dish or gratin. Heat remaining oil over medium heat in a medium-size skillet or a wide saucepan and add onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt and the garlic and thyme and continue to cook, stirring, until garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Add tomatoes, cinnamon, ground coriander seeds, and salt and pepper to taste and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring often, over medium-low heat, for 10 to 15 minutes, until the tomatoes have cooked down and the sauce is fragrant. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add to bowl with the cauliflower and stir everything together. Scrape into prepared baking dish.
  • Set aside 2 tablespoons of the goat cheese. Beat eggs, then add the remaining cheese and beat together until smooth. Pour over cauliflower mixture, making sure to scrape out every last bit with a rubber spatula. Dot top with small pieces of the remaining goat cheese and sprinkle on chives.
  • Bake 30 minutes, until top is beginning to brown in spots. Remove from oven and allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

CAULIFLOWER AND TOMATO FRITTATA WITH FETA



Cauliflower and Tomato Frittata With Feta image

Cauliflower, tomatoes and feta are always a good combination. This being a winter frittata, I used canned tomatoes for the sauce, but in summer the same dish can be made with fresh tomatoes. Make sure to cook the sauce down until it is quite pasty. If it is too watery it will dilute the eggs and the texture of the frittata will be a bit watery. Even better, make the tomato sauce a day ahead and keep uncovered in the refrigerator.

Time 1h

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 to 2 garlic cloves (to taste), minced
1 14.5-ounce can chopped tomatoes, with juice
Pinch of sugar
Salt to taste
1 sprig basil or 1/2 to 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1/2 medium head cauliflower, cored and cut or broken into small florets (about 3 cups florets)
2 ounces feta, crumbled (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup imported black olives, pitted and halved or coarsely chopped (optional)
8 large or extra-large eggs
Freshly ground pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley or a combination of parsley and mint or marjoram

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat in a heavy 10-inch skillet, preferably nonstick. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until it begins to smell fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes with liquid, sugar, salt and basil sprig or thyme. Simmer over medium heat, stirring often, until tomatoes have cooked down to a fragrant, dry sauce, about 20 minutes. Remove basil sprig. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • While sauce is simmering, steam cauliflower 5 to 8 minutes, until tender. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels. Add to tomato sauce and break up into small pieces with the back of your spoon. If possible, refrigerate uncovered overnight or for a few hours.
  • Beat eggs in a large bowl. Stir in salt (about 1/2 teaspoon), pepper, tomato sauce with cauliflower, feta, optional olives and herbs.
  • Clean and dry skillet and return to heat. Heat remaining olive oil over medium-high heat in the skillet. Hold your hand above it; it should feel hot. Drop a bit of egg into the pan and if it sizzles and cooks at once, pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture. Swirl pan to distribute eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up edges of frittata with the spatula in your other hand, to let eggs run underneath during first few minutes of cooking.
  • Once a few layers of egg have set, turn heat down to very low, cover (use a pizza pan if you don't have a lid that will fit your skillet), and cook 10 to 15 minutes, shaking pan gently every once in a while and lifting up the frittata and tilting the pan to let egg run underneath. Frittata should be just about set, except for the top.
  • Meanwhile, preheat broiler. Uncover pan and place under broiler, not too closeto heat, for 1 to 3 minutes, watching very carefully to make sure top doesn't burn (at most, it should brown in spots and puff under the broiler). Remove from heat, shake pan to make sure the frittata isn't sticking and allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes and for up to 15. Loosen edges with a wooden or plastic spatula. Carefully slide from pan onto a large round platter. Cut into wedges or into smaller bite-size diamonds. Serve hot, warm, at room temperature, or cold.

Categories     Cheese

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 medium cauliflower, broken into flowerets
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
2 medium onions, chopped
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
3 tablespoons butter
1 (1 lb) can tomatoes
1 chicken bouillon cubes or 1 beef bouillon cube
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Cook cauliflower flowerets until just tender; drain and mix in 3/4 cup of the grated cheese (reserve a 1/4 of a cup of cheese).
  • Brown onions and parsley in butter.
  • Add tomatoes, bouillon cube, sugar, salt, pepper, and breadcrumbs to the onion mixture and simmer 5 minutes.

  • Add cauliflower on top of the tomato mixture.
  • Then add the 1/4 cup of cheese over the cauliflower layer.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F. for 15 minutes or until bubbly.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cauliflower. Fresh cauliflower will have a brighter flavor and a more tender texture than cauliflower that has been sitting in the fridge for a while.
  • Cut the cauliflower into even-sized florets. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the cauliflower. Cauliflower should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch to it.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a cheese that you like the taste of.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables. You can use other vegetables in this dish, such as broccoli, zucchini, or squash.
  • Serve the cauliflower gratin hot. This dish is best served hot out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Cauliflower gratin is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it's also a good source of protein and calcium. With its creamy, cheesy sauce and crispy topping, cauliflower gratin is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
