PAN-ROASTED SPICED CAULIFLOWER WITH PEAS



Pan-Roasted Spiced Cauliflower With Peas image

This dish is inspired by a trip to Curry Hill, a neighborhood in New York dotted with stores selling saris, Indian restaurants, Pakistani cafes and hole-in-the-wall spice shops. When I got home from my shopping spree, a cauliflower was screaming for Indian spices, garlic and ginger. Better still, I knew I could knock together a pan-roasted meal in about 20 minutes.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons ghee, clarified butter or vegetable oil
1 small cauliflower about 1 1/2 pounds, cored, in 1/2-inch slices
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
2 teaspoons grated fresh turmeric or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 to 3 makrut lime leaves (optional)
1 (1-inch) piece of ginger, peeled and slivered or finely grated
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 serrano chiles, finely chopped, or to taste
1 pound fresh English peas, shucked about 1 cup or frozen peas, or 1/2 pound snow peas or sugar snap peas, trimmed
2 to 3 scallions, slivered
Cilantro sprigs, for garnish
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a large sauté pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Add the ghee or oil, and when it is hot, add the cauliflower. Stir until the cauliflower begins to color, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Continue stirring until the cauliflower is half-cooked, about 5 minutes, lowering the heat if necessary to keep it from browning too quickly.
  • Add the cumin, mustard seeds, turmeric and makrut lime leaves, if using. When they begin to sizzle, add the ginger, garlic and chilies. Stir well and add the peas, along with a sprinkle of salt. Cover to let the peas steam until tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with the slivered scallions and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

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.

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.

ROASTED ROMANESCO CAULIFLOWER RECIPE - (3.8/5)



Roasted Romanesco Cauliflower Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by blum099

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large head romanesco cauliflower
1/4 cup liquid coconut or olive oil
1/2 cup diced red onion
6 cloves garlic, minced
juice of 1 whole lemon (about 1/4 cup)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon each salt & pepper
1/2 cup dry sherry
fresh chopped cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Trim the washed cauliflower leaves and cut the stem, if necessary, so that cauliflower stands upright in a dutch oven or heavy cast-iron pan (with a lid). Place the cauliflower in the pan, and use a sharp knife to carve a 1 in. deep X into the top of the cauliflower. In a small bowl, combine oil with diced onions, minced garlic, lemon juice, spices, salt & pepper. Pour over the cauliflower, slightly pulling the X apart so the oil can seep into the middle. Try to evenly coat the cauliflower (no need to flip it over). Pour sherry lightly over the whole thing, then cover the pan. Bake for 40 minutes, or until cauliflower is fork-tender, then remove the lid and cook for another 10-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve with an extra squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or parsley. Serves 4, leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for up to a week. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right Romanesco cauliflower: Look for a head that is compact and has a deep green color. Avoid heads that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Trim the Romanesco cauliflower properly: Cut off the tough outer leaves and remove any woody stems. Cut the cauliflower into 1-inch florets.
  • Roast the Romanesco cauliflower until it is tender and slightly charred: This will bring out the natural sweetness of the vegetable. Roast the cauliflower for about 20 minutes, or until it is fork-tender.
  • Add the peas towards the end of cooking: This will prevent them from overcooking and becoming mushy. Add the peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  • Season the Romanesco cauliflower and peas with your favorite herbs and spices: This will enhance the flavor of the dish. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  • Serve the Romanesco cauliflower and peas immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Pan-roasted Romanesco cauliflower with peas is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The Romanesco cauliflower is roasted until it is tender and slightly charred, and the peas add a pop of sweetness and color. This dish is also very versatile and can be served with a variety of main courses. Whether you are looking for a side dish for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, pan-roasted Romanesco cauliflower with peas is sure to please everyone at the table.
