Cauliflower-and-Mushroom Roast image

We like to think of this recipe as a deconstructed, healthier grilled cheese. Cauliflower stands in as the base while the bread serves as a crunchy garnish.

CAULIFLOWER WITH OYSTER MUSHROOMS AND SHERRY



Cauliflower With Oyster Mushrooms and Sherry image

This dish of cauliflower and oyster mushrooms in sherry and cream is pan-simmered, though the cauliflower is blanched beforehand in highly salted water to keep it crisp. The addition of sherry to the cream sauce keeps it from being bland, and the mushrooms are seared for a bit of chew.

Time 45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 quarts whole milk
6 tablespoons kosher salt
2 heads cauliflower, trimmed into bite-size florets
1 pound oyster or chanterelle mushrooms, tough stems removed, torn into bite-size pieces
Fine sea salt
1/4 cup minced shallots
4 sprigs fresh thyme, plus extra for garnish
1 cup Amontillado or other dry sherry
3/4 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons chilled butter, diced

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, combine the milk, salt and 2 quarts water; bring to a simmer. Blanch the florets until barely tender, about 2 minutes; the cauliflower should still have a little crispness and bite. Drain well and transfer to a baking sheet to cool.
  • In a large (14-inch) sauté pan, heat 3 tablespoons of the canola oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms to the pan in a single layer, allowing them to become browned and crisped on both sides, stirring as needed, about 10 minutes. Season lightly with sea salt. Add the shallots and thyme, and, if needed, more canola oil. Sauté until the shallots are tender, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the blanched cauliflower florets to the pan and mix well. Add the sherry, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon and stirring until reduced to one quarter of the original amount. Add the cream and allow it to reduce to a thickened sauce that coats the cauliflower. Turn off the heat, and stir in the chilled butter, a few cubes at a time, to create a rich, velvety emulsion.
  • Transfer to a warmed serving dish and garnish with thyme sprigs. Serve as soon as possible, while still hot.

SPAGHETTI SAUCE WITH CAULIFLOWER



Spaghetti Sauce with Cauliflower image

Serve this sauce over your favorite pasta. This recipe goes back to the Great Depression. My large Italian family gathered in the kitchen and tried many ways to prepare Sunday dinner on a tight budget. My friends and family couldn't believe that there is no ground beef in this sauce. I bring it into work the next day and share. Co-workers love it.

CAULIFLOWER WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

This is a great roasted cauliflower recipe with a nice creamy mushroom sauce. You can go heavier with the milk and butter if you are not concerned about calories, but it tastes very nice as written. I usually pair this with herbed basmati rice and grilled marinated chicken.
