Best 6 Pickled Cauliflower Salad With Chanterelles And Fennel Recipes

BRAESOLA AND LIGHTLY PICKLED MUSHROOM AND CAULIFLOWER SALAD WITH CRISPY PARMIGIANO

Steps:

• Combine the mushrooms, onion, cauliflower, thyme leaves, crushed red pepper, vinegar, and salt in a bowl. Toss well to combine, cover, and let sit at room temperature at least 1 hour, stirring once or twice. This will sort of cook the veggies and lightly pickle them.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• On a sheet tray lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper, make 4 flat circles of Parmigiano. Bake the Parmigiano disks until the cheese looks golden and lacy, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove the cheese rounds from the oven and let cool for 1 to 2 minutes, and then loosen them from the tray. Reserve.
• Divide the braesola between 4 serving plates. Toss the mushroom mixture with the arugula and a drizzle of big fat finishing oil. Taste to make sure the mix is delicious. Arrange a pile of the veggie mix on top of the braesola on each plate. Crumble a Parmigiano disk on each plate.

LEMONY PICKLED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Submerge 3 pint jars on a rack in a large pot of water. Cover and bring to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to low to keep jars warm until ready to fill.
• Combine vinegar, water, and pickling salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Working with one jar at a time, remove empty jars from canning pot and add a lemon slice and 1/3 of the garlic, mustard seeds, and peppercorns to each. Reserve remaining lemon slices for topping. Pack cauliflower into jars, leaving 1/2 inch for headspace.
• Slowly pour hot brine over cauliflower, leaving 1/2 inch for headspace. Use a clean wooden chopstick to work air bubbles out of jars. Slip in additional veggies if space allows and add a slice of remaining lemon to the top of each jar. Check headspace again and add more brine if necessary to bring to 1/2 inch from top.
• Wipe jar rims, apply lids and bands (not too tightly), and return jars to canning pot. Cover pot and return water to a rolling boil. Process for 10 minutes. Turn off heat, remove pot lid, and let jars stand in the cooling water 5 minutes to help ensure a good vacuum seal.
• Move jars to a folded kitchen towel or wooden cutting board to cool completely before checking seals. Any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and eaten promptly. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place. Sealed jars are shelf-stable at least 1 year.
