Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 ounces butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 head cauliflower
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup almonds, chopped
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 lime, zested and juiced
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons tahini
1/4 cup dill, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 clove garlic, minced
Juice of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup cilantro leaves
1 cup mint leaves
1 Fresno chile, sliced

Steps:

  • For the cauliflower: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Heat the butter and olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts. Add the garlic and curry powder and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Make a small foil ring wide enough to hold up the base of the cauliflower a little. Put the foil ring in a large saute pan and place the cauliflower on top. Season the cauliflower with salt and pepper. Pour all but 1/4 cup of the curry butter over the cauliflower. Roast the cauliflower for 10 minutes, then baste with some of the curry butter on the bottom of the pan. Continue to roast and baste until the cauliflower is tender, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the almonds and raisins to the remaining curry butter in the saucepan and cook over medium heat until the nuts are toasted and the raisins are plump, about 3 minutes. Stir in the lime juice.
  • Remove the cauliflower to a serving platter and drizzle with any remaining butter from the saute pan. Top with the nut, raisin and curry butter mixture and sprinkle with the lime zest.
  • For the yogurt-tahini sauce: Whisk together the yogurt, olive oil, tahini, dill, cumin, garlic and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Drizzle the cauliflower with the yogurt-tahini sauce and garnish with the cilantro, mint and chiles.

SPICED CAULIFLOWER RICE

Provided by James Briscione

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large head cauliflower
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup finely diced onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 cups frozen green peas, thawed
1 cup grated carrots
Sea salt
1 tablespoon thinly sliced chives or scallions

Steps:

  • Cut the cauliflower into quarters through the stem. Trim and discard the core, then separate the head into florets. Place a third of the florets into a food processor and pulse in 2- to 3-second bursts until the cauliflower is finely chopped and has the consistency of couscous. Repeat twice, until all of the cauliflower is chopped. (One large head should yield approximately 8 cups chopped.)
  • Combine the cumin, pepper, turmeric, ginger and nutmeg in a small bowl and add 1 tablespoon water. Stir well to combine and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large saute pan over high heat. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook, stirring often, until tender but not browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until aromatic, 30 seconds more. Stir in the spice mixture and cook another 30 seconds.
  • Add the cauliflower, peas and carrots and stir well. Add some salt to taste. Cook, stirring often, until the cauliflower is tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowls and garnish with chives.

SPICED CAULIFLOWER



Spiced Cauliflower image

I grew up with cauliflower boiled and served with buttered crumbs. Although I love melted butter, the two never melded for me, and cauliflower remained my least favorite vegetable until I discovered this recipe from Indian friends. I omitted the chile and prepared it for my brother who cannot tolerate any hot spice, and he raved about it. It's flavorful, and the microwave finish leaves the cauliflower slightly crisp, which we prefer.

SPICED ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH FETA AND GARLIC



Spiced Roasted Cauliflower With Feta and Garlic image

Cauliflower undergoes a few stages of cooking in this recipe, and, for a deep brown and ridiculous flavor, it's important to see it through all of them. It will be cooked through about halfway through roasting, but to transform it from pale and tender to crisp and golden brown, it must continue roasting at very high heat. Make sure to keep the smaller bits that fall away as you prepare and slice the cauliflower. They'll get the most golden and crunchy, almost like little cauliflower bread crumbs.

Provided by Alison Roman

Categories     weekday, vegetables, side dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 small head cauliflower
6 garlic cloves, smashed
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving
2 teaspoons fennel or cumin seed
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
Kosher salt and ground pepper
1 ounce feta cheese, sliced or crumbled
¼ cup parsley, tender leaves and stems, coarsely chopped
¼ cup cilantro, mint or dill, tender leaves and stems, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Slice cauliflower lengthwise into ½-inch thick slices, including the core and leaves. (Some of the first slices will crumble and fall apart. This is O.K., and will be useful when you want those crispier bits.)
  • Place cauliflower (slices and crumbles) and garlic on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with fennel seed, turmeric and red-pepper flakes, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Roast, without disturbing, until cauliflower has turned a deep golden brown and crisped up in spots, 25 to 30 minutes. Using a spatula, flip the larger steaks and stir the smaller bits around and continue to roast until completely and evenly browned, another 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and transfer to a large serving platter. Top with feta, herbs and a drizzle of olive oil.

CAULIFLOWER SHAWARMA WITH SPICY TAHINI



Cauliflower Shawarma With Spicy Tahini image

In this vegetarian take on shawarma, the usual spiced lamb, chicken or turkey is replaced with cauliflower florets and onion wedges that have been tossed with a classic combination of cumin, paprika and coriander, then roasted until browned, fragrant and very tender. A hot sauce-spiked tahini served alongside lends creaminess and heat. To serve it, you can tuck everything into a pita or flatbread, or keep the bread on the side and let everyone assemble their own sandwiches at the table. Chopped cucumber, tomatoes and olives are optional, but they add a juicy brightness to contrast with the aromatic, roasted flavors.

Categories     vegetables, main course

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/4 teaspoons sweet paprika
3/4 teaspoon fine sea or table salt, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of ground cayenne
1 large head cauliflower (about 2 1/2 pounds), trimmed and cut into bite-size florets
1 large red onion, cut into 1/4-inch wedges
Pita or flatbread, for serving
1/4 cup coarsely chopped parsley, plus more for serving
Chopped tomato, cucumber and olives, for serving
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste
1 to 2 teaspoons harissa paste or other hot sauce, or a large pinch of Urfa or Aleppo pepper, plus more to taste
1 fat garlic clove, finely grated, passed through a press or minced
1/4 teaspoon fine sea or table salt
1/3 cup tahini
1/3 cup ice water, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • Arrange racks in the upper and lower thirds of your oven. Heat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Prepare the cauliflower: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, coriander, turmeric, black pepper and cayenne. Add cauliflower and onion, and toss until well coated. Spread mixture in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Roast vegetables on the top oven rack until they are golden brown, slightly crisp and tender, 30 to 40 minutes, stirring once or twice. If the vegetables look dry as they roast, drizzle with a little more olive oil.
  • As they cook, prepare the tahini sauce: Whisk together lemon juice, 1 teaspoon harissa, garlic and salt in a small bowl, and let sit for a minute or two to mellow the garlic. Whisk in tahini. Whisk in ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce is smooth and thin enough to drizzle. You may not need all of the water or you may need to add a little more: Tahini brands vary a lot. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more harissa, lemon juice and salt if you like. The sauce should taste zippy and creamy.
  • Warm the pitas or flatbread by placing them directly on the bottom oven rack during the last 5 minutes as the vegetables roast. (Or you can warm the bread on another baking pan if that's easier for you.)
  • Scatter parsley on top of the roasted vegetables and serve with warm pitas, tahini sauce, chopped tomato, cucumber and olives.

SPICED CAULIFLOWER ROAST



Spiced cauliflower roast image

Cauliflower is having a renaissance and we couldn't be happier. Roasting creates an incredible nutty flavour that works beautifully with the spices and herbs.

Provided by Sophie Godwin - Cookery writer

Categories     Starter, Vegetable

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 18

50g butter , softened at room temperature
2 tsp chilli flakes
½ tsp sumac
½ tsp allspice
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 cauliflower (about 1kg)
2 x 400g cans chickpeas , drained and rinsed
small pack flat-leaf parsley , chopped
small pack mint , chopped
small pack coriander , chopped
1 red onion , very finely chopped
200g cherry tomatoes on the vine
50g pine nuts , toasted
pomegranate molasses , for drizzling
100g good-quality feta
100g Greek yogurt
juice ½ lemon

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, beat the butter and spices with a wooden spoon, then set aside.
  • Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/ gas 7. Trim the outer leaves of the cauliflower and remove the very bottom of the root, being careful to keep some of the root attached so the whole cauliflower remains intact. Bring a large pan (big enough to fit the whole cauliflower) filled with salted water to a rolling boil. Cook for 3-4 mins to partially tenderise, then carefully remove with two slotted spoons.
  • Put the cauliflower and chickpeas on a baking tray. Rub the cauliflower with the butter, dot a little over the chickpeas and season everything. Roast in the oven for 35 mins until the chickpeas are crispy, the cauliflower is deep golden-brown, and a cutlery knife can be inserted into the middle easily.
  • Meanwhile, make the feta dressing. In a large bowl, whisk the feta and Greek yogurt until the cheese has completely broken up and the mixture is creamy. Add the lemon juice, whisk again, then season to taste. Chill until needed.
  • Remove the cauliflower and chickpeas from the oven, transfer the cauliflower to a plate, then mix the remaining ingredients, except the pomegranate molasses, with the warm chickpeas on the tray.
  • Arrange the herby chickpeas on a large sharing platter and place the whole cauliflower on top. Spoon over the dressing and drizzle with pomegranate molasses to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: A firm and compact head of cauliflower with tightly packed florets is ideal for this recipe. Avoid heads with any signs of bruising or discoloration.
  • Roast the cauliflower before adding the spices: Roasting the cauliflower beforehand helps to caramelize the florets and bring out their natural sweetness. This also helps the spices to adhere better to the cauliflower.
  • Use a variety of spices: The combination of spices used in this recipe creates a complex and flavorful dish. Feel free to adjust the amounts of each spice to suit your own taste preferences.
  • Don't overcook the cauliflower: The cauliflower should be tender but still have a slight crunch to it. Overcooking will make the cauliflower mushy.
  • Serve immediately: Spiced cauliflower is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the cauliflower is hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

This spiced cauliflower recipe is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a larger meal. The combination of spices creates a complex and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook cauliflower, give this recipe a try!
