ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH LEMON BROWN BUTTER

Roasting vegetables is easy, but this technique elevates the everyday dinner staple. A pan of water in the oven with the cauliflower helps maintain its succulence, while an even temperature browns it and brings out its natural sugars. Brown butter and sage take it over the top.

Time 1h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup sage leaves, loosely packed
1 tablespoon sea salt, more for tossing
3 medium-large heads cauliflower (about 3 pounds)
About 1 teaspoon table salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 lemon, zest finely grated

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a small pan until rippling. Add sage and cook, stirring, just until crisped, about 2 minutes. Lift out sage and drain on paper towels; transfer oil to a large bowl. Let sage cool and crumble with fingers into a small bowl. Stir in coarse salt and set aside.
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Place roasting pan with an inch of water in oven bottom. Add cauliflower to bowl with oil, add about 1 teaspoon table salt, and toss gently until coated. Spread out on two large baking sheets. Bake until browned, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Melt butter in a small pan over medium heat. When foam subsides, watch closely and stir often. When white solids are brown and butter smells toasty, turn off heat, squeeze in juice of lemon and stir well.
  • Transfer cauliflower to a bowl, pour butter over, and add lemon zest. Add half the sage salt and toss. Taste and season with remaining salt as needed.

This buttery, caramelized crown of cauliflower proves you don't need to get complicated to achieve dramatic, decadent results in the kitchen. Whole-roasting provides an even surface for basting with brown butter, which trickles into the crevices and crisps the exterior. Finish simply with a shower of salt, and you've got a beautiful side dish hearty enough to serve as a main.

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 head cauliflower, whole
1 tablespoon canola oil
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (425 degrees F, if using convection). Cut the stem off the cauliflower as close to the florets as possible to provide a flat base for roasting. Remove and discard any green leaves. Place the cauliflower in a cast-iron skillet and rub oil all over the surface. Place in the oven and roast, 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven; the cauliflower should be light brown and slightly softened. Use your hands to carefully mash the softened butter onto the top of the cauliflower. Place back into the oven for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven. Tilt the skillet to pool the brown butter at one end, then use a spoon to thoroughly baste the cauliflower. Test for doneness by inserting a sharp knife into the center: the cauliflower should be completely tender with no resistance. If it needs a bit more time in the oven, baste one final time and place back in the oven for 10 more minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, baste again, and test for doneness. Sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt and serve whole or cut into wedges.

Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield about 4 side dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Kosher salt
1 head cauliflower (about 2 pounds), broken into small florets
1/4 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons fresh breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced parsley
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain in a colander in the sink.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter, and move the pan in a circular motion as it melts. When the butter's foam begins to subside, after a couple minutes, add the breadcrumbs. Continue cooking and swirling the skillet, until the butter begins to brown, about 30 seconds more. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice to stop the cooking.
  • Add the cauliflower and parsley to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and toss until evenly coated with the brown butter. Warm over medium heat if needed. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately.

Time 1h15m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 stick butter
1/2 onion, finely diced
1 carrot, finely diced
1 celery stalk, finely diced
1 cauliflower head, cored and roughly chopped
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth or stock
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1 cup half-and-half
1 to 2 teaspoons salt (or to taste)
Ground black pepper
1 heaping cup sour cream, at room temperature
Warm rolls or crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Melt 1/2stick of the butter in a heavy pot over medium heat. Then add the onions and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the carrots and celery, and then stir and cook for a couple more minutes. Throw in the cauliflower. Then stir it around, cover and cook over very low heat for 15 minutes.
  • Add the parsley, and then add the chicken broth and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Meantime, make a simple white sauce: Melt the remaining 1/2stick butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Then whisk in the flour. Cook for a couple of minutes, and then pour in the milk, whisking to combine. Remove the white sauce from the heat and pour in the half-and-half. Then pour this creamy mixture into the pot. Add 1 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste, and allow the soup to simmer for another 20 to 30 minutes. The soup will thicken slightly but shouldn't be overly thick. Give it a taste and add more salt if needed.
  • Now, this is the fun part: To serve the soup, place the room temperature sour cream in the bottom of a soup tureen (a very large serving bowl). Then add the whole pot of hot soup to the tureen.
  • Stir gently to combine, and then serve immediately with warm rolls and an appetite for something wonderful.
  • You will love everything about this.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready before you start cooking. This will help you stay organized and prevent any unexpected delays.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh cauliflower will give you the best flavor and texture in your soufflé.
  • Don't overcook the cauliflower: Cauliflower should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked cauliflower will make your soufflé dense and heavy.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your soufflé. Use a cheese that is flavorful and melts well, such as Gruyère, Parmesan, or cheddar.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites: Overbeaten egg whites will make your soufflé tough and rubbery. Beat the egg whites until they are stiff but still glossy.
  • Fold the egg whites gently: When you fold the egg whites into the cauliflower mixture, be gentle and take your time. Overmixing will deflate the egg whites and make your soufflé fall.
  • Bake the soufflé immediately: Once you have folded the egg whites into the cauliflower mixture, bake the soufflé immediately. This will help it rise properly.
  • Serve the soufflé immediately: Soufflés are best served immediately after they are baked. They will start to fall after a few minutes, so don't wait too long to enjoy them.

Conclusion:

Cauliflower soufflé is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is light and airy, with a rich and flavorful cheese sauce. With a little care and attention, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you're looking for something special to serve, give cauliflower soufflé a try.
