ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH CHEDDAR CHEESE SAUCE

Categories     Side     Roast     St. Patrick's Day     Cheddar     Cauliflower     Winter     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large head cauliflower (about 1 pound total)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 cups whole milk
10 ounces Cheddar cheese or similar, grated (about 1 1/4 cup)
Special Equipment
12- by 8-inch baking dish

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375°F. Arrange a steamer rack over a large pot of boiling water.
  • Remove the green outer leaves from the cauliflower, place it on the steamer rack, and steam until tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl to cool. Once the cauliflower is cool enough to handle, use your hands to gently break the florets from the thick central stalk-try to break the cauliflower into large florets rather than small pieces. Arrange the florets, in one layer, in a 12- by 8-inch baking dish and set aside.
  • In a large heavy saucepan over moderate heat, melt the butter. Reduce the heat to low, add the flour and salt, and whisk until both are incorporated and the mixture turns golden brown, about 2 minutes. Raise the heat to moderate and add the milk, whisking constantly, until a smooth sauce forms (the sauce should be thick and glossy, but still runny), about 5 minutes. (If the sauce is too thick, gradually whisk in additional milk until the desired consistency is achieved.) Add 1 cup of the grated cheese and whisk until melted, about 1 minute. Pour the cheese sauce over the cauliflower, making sure to cover all the florets. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese and season with pepper, then bake until the cauliflower is golden brown and the cheese sauce is bubbling, about 30 minutes.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER GRATIN WITH TOMATOES AND GOAT CHEESE



Roasted Cauliflower Gratin With Tomatoes and Goat Cheese image

Roasting is one of my favorite ways to prepare cauliflower, and I have always loved preparations that pair the vegetable with coriander seeds. I use coriander seeds and cinnamon to season the tomato sauce that I toss with the roasted cauliflower and sautéed red onions, then add a couple of eggs beaten with goat cheese.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, lunch, main course, side dish

Time 1h20m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 medium-size head of cauliflower
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small or 1/2 large red onion, cut in half or quarters (if using a whole onion) lengthwise, then sliced thin across the grain
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 (14 8/10-ounce) can chopped tomatoes in juice
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds, lightly toasted and coarsely ground
2 eggs
2 1/2 ounces soft goat cheese (about 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons)
2 to 3 teaspoon chopped chives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil. Cut away the bottom of the cauliflower stem and trim off leaves. Cut cauliflower into 1/3 inch thick slices, letting the florets on the edges fall off. Toss all of it, including the bits that have fallen away, with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place on baking sheet in an even layer.
  • Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring and flipping over the big slices after 8 minutes, until the slices are tender when pierced with a paring knife and the small florets are nicely browned. Remove from oven and cut large slices into smaller pieces. You should have about 2 cups. Transfer to a large bowl. Turn oven down to 375 degrees.
  • Oil a 1-1/2 to 2-quart baking dish or gratin. Heat remaining oil over medium heat in a medium-size skillet or a wide saucepan and add onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt and the garlic and thyme and continue to cook, stirring, until garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Add tomatoes, cinnamon, ground coriander seeds, and salt and pepper to taste and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring often, over medium-low heat, for 10 to 15 minutes, until the tomatoes have cooked down and the sauce is fragrant. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add to bowl with the cauliflower and stir everything together. Scrape into prepared baking dish.
  • Set aside 2 tablespoons of the goat cheese. Beat eggs, then add the remaining cheese and beat together until smooth. Pour over cauliflower mixture, making sure to scrape out every last bit with a rubber spatula. Dot top with small pieces of the remaining goat cheese and sprinkle on chives.
  • Bake 30 minutes, until top is beginning to brown in spots. Remove from oven and allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Tips for the Perfect Roasted Cauliflower with Cheese:

  • Choose a high-quality head of cauliflower that is firm and white, with tightly packed florets.
  • Cut the cauliflower into evenly sized florets so that they cook evenly.
  • Toss the cauliflower florets in olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help them to brown and caramelize.
  • Roast the cauliflower at a high temperature (425°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until the florets are tender and slightly charred.
  • Remove the cauliflower from the oven and sprinkle it with grated Parmesan or cheddar cheese. Return the cauliflower to the oven for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve the roasted cauliflower immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Roasted cauliflower with cheese is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a larger meal. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and can be easily customized to your liking. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, roasted cauliflower with cheese is a surefire hit for any occasion.
