WHOLE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH A PARSLEY SAUCE RECIPE - (4.4/5)



whole roasted cauliflower with a parsley sauce Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by TheCulinaryChase

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 head of cauliflower
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
extra-virgin olive oil
parsley sauce -
1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
1 or 2 cloves garlic (make into a paste - instructions in note)
1 to 2 oil packed anchovies, minced
1 teaspoon or more of lime or lemon juice
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon dried chili pepper flakes
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400f (200c). Grab a cooking vessel large enough to hold the cauliflower. Remove any manky-looking leaves and cut the stem off to help balance the vegetable. Place cauliflower in vessel and smother with olive oil (use your hands to massage it all over) followed by a generous grinding of sea salt and black pepper. Move to oven and roast 60 minutes or longer depending on how soft you like it. Allow the cauliflower to rest a few minutes before serving. While the cauliflower is roasting, make the sauce. In a small bowl combine all ingredients except olive oil. Slowly add olive oil while stirring until emulsified. Cut chunks of the cauliflower and distribute among plates. Drizzle with sauce and serve. The Culinary Chase's Note: To make garlic paste, chop garlic cloves and add a pinch of sea salt. Using the flat side of a knife, push the salt into the garlic. Repeat push and scrape movements back over garlic and within seconds you'll see how the chopped garlic quickly turns into a paste. Scrape up with the knife and add to the dressing. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh cauliflower. If using frozen cauliflower, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • To save time, you can use pre-cut cauliflower florets.
  • If you don't have a steamer, you can boil the cauliflower in a large pot of salted water for 5-7 minutes, or until tender.
  • To make the parsley butter sauce, use unsalted butter so that you can control the amount of salt in the sauce.
  • If you don't have fresh parsley, you can use dried parsley, but use only half the amount.
  • Serve the cauliflower with the parsley butter sauce immediately.

Conclusion:

This cauliflower with parsley butter sauce is a simple but delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be ready in under 30 minutes. The cauliflower is tender and flavorful, and the parsley butter sauce is rich and creamy. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
