GARLIC WHOLE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 large head cauliflower (2 1/2 to 3 pounds)
6 sprigs thyme
6 cloves garlic (3 smashed, 3 thinly sliced)
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
2 teaspoons black peppercorns
2 stalks celery, roughly chopped
1 shallot, roughly chopped
Zest of 1 lemon (in wide strips)
1 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup sugar
Kosher salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Trim the cauliflower: Cut the stem flush with the bottom. Cut a few slits into the core extending into the thick branches of the cauliflower (keep the florets intact). Put 3 thyme sprigs, the smashed garlic, bay leaves, coriander seeds and peppercorns on a square of cheesecloth and tie into a bundle. Combine 12 cups water, the celery, shallot, lemon zest, wine, sugar, 1/3 cup salt and the cheesecloth bundle in a pot large enough to submerge the cauliflower. Bring to a boil, whisking to dissolve the salt and sugar. Carefully add the cauliflower core-side down and cook until there is a slight resistance when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes. (It's OK if the top of the cauliflower pops up during cooking.) Remove the cauliflower to a baking sheet.
  • Meanwhile, make the garlic oil: Combine the remaining 3 thyme sprigs, the sliced garlic, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the garlic starts browning, 3 to 5 minutes. Discard the thyme. Brush the cauliflower with half of the oil, leaving the sliced garlic behind.
  • Roast the cauliflower until browned and tender, 30 to 40 minutes, brushing halfway through with the remaining garlic oil; reserve 1 teaspoon garlic oil and the sliced garlic.
  • Transfer the cauliflower to a cutting board or platter using a spatula. Add the parsley to the reserved garlic oil and spoon over the cauliflower. Cut into wedges.

GARLIC CRUSTED CAULIFLOWER



Garlic Crusted Cauliflower image

I like veggie dishes where the flavor of the vegetable comes through and isn't masked by heavy sauces, and this really fits the bill. The luscious crumb crust is VERY garlicky and the dish goes well with a simple entree and salad.

Provided by EdsGirlAngie

Categories     Cauliflower

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb cauliflower, cut into florets (about 3 to 4 cups)
4 garlic cloves
3/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 1/2-2 tablespoons butter
salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil with three of the garlic cloves (halve or slice them). Add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 5 minutes. Drain, setting aside the garlic cloves.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Very lightly grease a baking dish and place the cauliflower in the dish. Stir in one tablespoon of mayonnaise, coating all of the cauliflower thoroughly. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
  • Mince the 3 boiled garlic cloves; also mince the remaining 4th garlic clove. Combine dry breadcrumbs, garlic and olive oil; spread over the top of the cauliflower. Bake, uncovered, in a 375 degree oven for 10 minutes; take out, dot with the butter and return to the oven for 10 to 15 minutes more, or until cauliflower is done to your liking (I like mine tender but not mushy).

Tips:

  • Make sure to use a large head of cauliflower for roasting. Smaller heads will cook too quickly and won't develop the same caramelized crust.
  • Cut the cauliflower into evenly sized florets so that they cook evenly. Smaller florets will cook faster than larger ones, so adjust the roasting time accordingly.
  • Toss the cauliflower florets in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help to create a flavorful crust and prevent the cauliflower from drying out.
  • Roast the cauliflower at a high temperature (450°F or 230°C) for 20-30 minutes, or until the florets are tender and browned. Be sure to shake the pan halfway through roasting so that the cauliflower cooks evenly.
  • Serve the roasted garlic crusted cauliflower immediately, while it is still hot and crispy. It can be enjoyed as a side dish, appetizer, or main course.

Conclusion:

Roasted garlic crusted cauliflower is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it can also be a healthy and satisfying meal. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and nutritious.
