WHOLE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH ALMOND-HERB SAUCE



Whole Roasted Cauliflower With Almond-Herb Sauce image

This striking dish has become a modern classic, as chefs around the world are working out new ways to push vegetables into the center of the plate. It makes a lovely vegetarian main course after a pasta intro, or a gorgeous side dish for lamb or fish. Omit the anchovies in the sauce, and it becomes entirely vegetarian; replace the butter with more olive oil, and it turns vegan. Try using pale orange, green or purple cauliflower, or a head of spiky, psychedelic Romanesco. Carve it at the table, just like a roast, for maximum impact.

Categories     dinner, vegetables, main course, side dish

Time 2h

Yield 2 main course servings, or 4 to 6 side dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large cauliflower
Olive oil
Salt
1/3 cup blanched almonds
6 to 10 anchovy fillets (optional)
2 garlic cloves, peeled
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature (or use olive oil)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for basting
2 teaspoons wine vinegar (white or red), more to taste
1/2 cup coarsely chopped parsley, mint, tarragon, cilantro or a combination
1/2 to 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oven while you prepare the cauliflower: Place a heavy oven-proof skillet (a cast-iron skillet looks very nice) or a baking sheet in the oven and turn the heat to 375 degrees. Place a small pan of hot water on the floor of the oven, to create steam.
  • Break off and discard the outer leaves from the cauliflower. Cut off the bottom of the stem, and then use the tip of a small, sharp knife to cut off the leaves close to the stem. Carefully cut out the hard core of the cauliflower, near the bottom. Leave the main stem intact and make sure not to cut through any of the florets.
  • Rinse the cauliflower (leave the water clinging to the outside) and place on a work surface, core side up. Drizzle with olive oil and use your hands to rub over the cauliflower until evenly coated. Sprinkle with salt.
  • Place the cauliflower on the hot pan in the oven, core side down, and cook until very tender all the way through when pierced with a knife, at least 1 hour or up to 2 hours. During the cooking, baste 2 or 3 times with more olive oil. It should brown nicely. If you have a convection feature, use it toward the end of baking to brown the crust.
  • Make the sauce: In a small frying pan, toast nuts over low heat, shaking often, just until golden and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
  • Soak anchovies, if using, for 5 minutes in cool water. Rinse and set aside on paper towels.
  • In a food processor, combine almonds, anchovies, garlic and butter and pulse until smooth. Mix in oil, then vinegar. Mix in herbs and red pepper flakes, if using. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • When cauliflower is tender, remove from the oven. (If desired, run it briefly under the broiler first to brown the surface; there is no need to do this if you used convection.)
  • Serve cauliflower in the skillet or from a serving plate. Cut into wedges and spoon sauce around each wedge.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH FETA, ALMONDS AND OLIVES



Roasted Cauliflower With Feta, Almonds and Olives image

Roasted cauliflower is a pure delight, but tossing it with feta, toasted almonds and olives makes it even better. The additions come together while the cauliflower roasts, allowing you to assemble this side in no time. If almonds aren't available, walnuts or hazelnuts are good substitutions. This dish works well served warm, but it's equally good at room temperature if you want to make it ahead. Serve with grilled pork chops or pan-seared chicken thighs with lemon and herbs, or fold it into cooked grains, such farro or rice, for a hearty grain salad.

Categories     weeknight, vegetables, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium head of cauliflower (about 2 1/2 pounds), cut into florets
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
Pinch of red-pepper flakes (optional)
1/4 cup roughly chopped almonds
1/3 heaping cup/about 2 ounces crumbled feta
1/2 cup pitted and roughly chopped green olives
2 tablespoons finely chopped Italian parsley
1/2 lemon, to taste
Flaky salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower with the olive oil. Season well with the salt, pepper and red-pepper flakes, if using, and toss again. Spread the mixture evenly onto a large sheet pan and roast until crisp and golden, about 25 to 30 minutes, tossing halfway through to ensure even browning.
  • Meanwhile, toast the almonds in a skillet over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to ensure they don't burn, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Once the cauliflower is roasted, toss it in a large bowl with the feta cheese, olives, half the almonds and 1 tablespoon parsley until combined. Top with remaining almonds and parsley, and lemon. Season with flaky salt, if desired.

Categories     Cheese Appetizers

Time 1h5m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 7

cooking spray
1 head cauliflower, cored and cut into small florets
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray it lightly with cooking spray.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add cauliflower, reduce heat, and let simmer until soft and mashable, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain, return to the pot, and mash with a potato masher. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then place into a clean dish towel or paper towels and squeeze as hard as you can to remove any excess water.
  • Return cauliflower to the pot and add 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder; stir until well combined. Spoon the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared pan and use your hands to form it into a rectangle.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown and firm, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with remaining mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese. Return to the oven and continue to bake until the cheese is melted, 7 to 10 minutes. Cut into 10 "breadsticks."
