This is such a refreshing way to use cauliflower. I can eat the whole thing by myself...and sometimes I do. This is also nice with some chopped nuts sprinkled on top. UPDATE: On 01/14/08 I made this the way Rita describes....cooking it all together but upping the apple juice with 2 more tbsp It worked well and cuts out a step. Thanks Rita, for a lovely idea!

Categories     Cauliflower

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups cauliflower florets
1 teaspoon lime juice, fresh
1/2 teaspoon lime peel, fresh, minced
2 garlic cloves, minces
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
1/8 teaspoon red pepper
1 tablespoon peanut butter, plus
1 teaspoon peanut butter
1/3 cup apple juice, natural

Steps:

  • Over medium-high heat, cook cauliflower in small amount of water until just fork-tender. Drain & set aside.
  • Combine rest of ingredients in small saucepan & bring to a low simmer.
  • Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens enough to adhere to back of spoon.
  • Toss sauce and cauliflower together & serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cauliflower: Select a firm, compact head of cauliflower with no signs of bruising or wilting. Smaller heads tend to be more tender.
  • Prepare the Cauliflower Properly: Remove the outer leaves and cut the cauliflower into florets of roughly equal size. This will help ensure even cooking.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the more flavorful your dish will be. Opt for tangy, flavorful cheeses, crisp vegetables, and herbs.
  • Don't Overcook the Cauliflower: Overcooked cauliflower can become mushy and bland. Cook it just until tender, usually around 5-7 minutes.
  • Experiment with Different Flavors: Tangy cauliflower recipes offer a wide range of flavor possibilities. Try adding spices like paprika, cumin, or curry powder for a warm, savory taste.

Conclusion:

With its versatility and bold, tangy flavors, cauliflower is a fantastic ingredient for creating delicious and satisfying dishes.
