Categories     Cauliflower

Time 35m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cauliflower
olive oil, as needed
salt, as needed

Steps:

  • Remove the base of the stem of the cauliflower with a sharp knife.
  • From the top down, cut the cauliflower into 1/4 inches slices. (Some of the slices will crumble, but those still taste good, they just don't look as pretty.).
  • Heat 2 Table olive oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick frying pan.
  • Add one batch of the cauliflower (in a single layer) and cook until brown on the first side. Use a spachula to flip over the cauliflower.
  • Fry the cauliflower until brown on the second side, adding more olive oil if needed.
  • At this time, I usually add 2-3 Table. water, turn over the cauliflower again, cover and cook for several more minutes.
  • Repeat on the second side if the cauliflower is not quite tender. The cauliflower tastes best if it has gotten very brown.
  • Sprinkle with salt.
  • Remove the first batch, keeping warm, and doing a second and third batch (if you still have cauliflower to cook) until all of the cauliflower has been sauteed.

PAN-ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH GARLIC, PARSLEY AND ROSEMARY



Pan-Roasted Cauliflower With Garlic, Parsley and Rosemary image

Nearly any vegetable tastes good browned in olive oil and showered with garlic, parsley and rosemary, but cauliflower is an especially good candidate for this technique. The inherent sweetness of cauliflower begs for a hit of lemon and hot pepper too. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     easy, quick, vegetables, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium cauliflower heads (about 2 pounds)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and black pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper, or to taste
1 teaspoon grated or finely minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon freshly chopped rosemary
1/2 cup roughly chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 cup roasted salted almonds (homemade or store bought), roughly chopped
1 red fresno chile, thinly sliced, for garnish (optional)
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Cut each cauliflower in quarters and remove the core. Cut quarters into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Chop down wider slices so all are approximately the same jagged size.
  • Heat olive oil in a heavy wide skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add cauliflower and toss to coat using a metal spatula or flat wooden spoon. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Keeping heat brisk, repeatedly turn the cauliflower, letting the slices brown as they cook. Adjust heat as necessary to keep them sizzling nicely but not scorching. Continue to stir and flip the cauliflower until it is tender when pierced with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Add crushed red pepper, garlic, rosemary, parsley and lemon zest. Stir well to coat and cook 1 minute more. Check seasoning, then transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with almonds and fresno chile, if using, and serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is firm and has tightly packed florets. Avoid heads that have brown spots or are starting to wilt.
  • Cut the cauliflower into even florets: This will help them cook evenly. You can use a sharp knife or a food processor to cut the cauliflower.
  • Sauté the cauliflower in a hot skillet: This will help to caramelize the florets and give them a slightly crispy texture. Be sure to stir the cauliflower frequently so that it cooks evenly.
  • Add garlic and other seasonings to taste: Garlic is a classic addition to sautéed cauliflower, but you can also add other seasonings such as salt, pepper, paprika, or cumin.
  • Cook the cauliflower until it is tender: The cauliflower should be tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked cauliflower will become mushy.
  • Serve the cauliflower immediately: Sautéed cauliflower is best served hot and fresh. You can garnish it with a sprinkle of chopped parsley or cilantro.

Conclusion:

Sautéed cauliflower is a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course. It is a healthy and versatile dish that can be easily customized to your own taste. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
