Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
2 cups non dairy milk
2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 cauliflower, cut into 1 1/2 inch ( 3 cm) florets
1 tablespoon canola oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 piece fresh ginger, minced
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ cup orange juice
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup distilled white vinegar
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
1 teaspoon sesame oil
white rice, for serving
3 scallions, thinly sliced, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450˚F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease with nonstick spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the non-dairy milk, flour, and salt.
  • One at a time, dip each cauliflower floret in the batter to coat, letting any excess batter drip off. Arrange the battered cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they aren't touching one another. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the coating is crispy and beginning to brown.
  • While the cauliflower is baking, make the sauce: Heat the canola oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  • Add the orange juice, brown sugar, vinegar, and soy sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the brown sugar is dissolved and the mixture begins to simmer.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and cold water with a fork.
  • Add the slurry to the sauce, stirring to combine. Simmer for another 2 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Mix in the sesame oil, then transfer the sauce to a large bowl.
  • Toss the hot cauliflower florets in the sauce until well coated.
  • Serve the cauliflower over rice and garnish with the scallions.
  • Enjoy!

Provided by Nellie Fiorenzi

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Whole Chicken Recipes

Time 2h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup chicken broth
1 (4 pound) whole chicken, rinsed and patted dry
½ cup butter, cut into 1 tablespoon sized pieces
2 navel oranges, halved
salt and pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup butter, melted
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh sage

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pour the chicken broth into a small roasting pan, and set aside.
  • Loosen the skin from the breasts and thighs of the chicken. Stuff the butter pieces evenly underneath the skin of the chicken, and place into the roasting pan. Squeeze the orange halves over the chicken, and stuff the orange halves into the chicken cavity. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper to taste, then rub in the minced garlic. Drizzle the melted butter all over the chicken, then lay the herb sprigs onto the breast and around the legs.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil, and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Uncover and baste the chicken with the pan juices. Continue cooking until the chicken is no longer pink, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 1 to 2 hours. Baste the chicken every 10 to 15 minutes after you uncover it. Once cooked, allow the chicken to rest out of the oven for 10 minutes before slicing.
