Anthoxanthins- Not to be confused with anthocyanins found in red, blue and purple fruits and vegetables, anthoxanthins are responsible for the white and creamy yellows found in food. They are known for antioxidant properties, seeking out free radicals in the body and stabilizing them. Cauliflower is a wonderful source and proves that not all "white" food is bad for you!

CAULIFLOWER WITH SHALLOT AND CARAWAY



Cauliflower with Shallot and Caraway image

Categories     Side     Quick & Easy     Cauliflower     Winter     Shallot     Gourmet     Sugar Conscious     Vegan     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Paleo     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup finely chopped shallot
1/4 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 cups 1-inch cauliflower flowerets
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • In a 2-quart microwave-safe baking dish stir together the shallot, the caraway seeds, and the oil and microwave the mixture, covered, at high power (100%) for 2 minutes, or until the shallot is softened. Stir in the cauliflower and the water, microwave the mixture, covered, at high power for 4 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender, and season it with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: Look for cauliflowers that are compact and have tightly closed florets. Avoid heads with brown spots or blemishes.
  • Clean the cauliflower properly: Remove the outer leaves and cut the cauliflower into florets. Rinse the florets thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Cook the cauliflower al dente: To retain the cauliflower's texture and nutrients, cook it just until it is tender-crisp. Overcooking will make the cauliflower mushy.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, and dill, add a pop of flavor to the salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
  • Don't skimp on the dressing: The dressing is what brings all the flavors of the salad together. Be generous with the dressing, but don't drown the salad in it.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The cauliflower will start to lose its crunch if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Creamy Cauliflower Caraway Salad is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is packed with nutrients and has a creamy, tangy dressing that is sure to please everyone. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, this salad is a great option for busy weeknights or potlucks. Give it a try and enjoy this flavorful and nutritious dish!
