cauliflower
If you’re looking for inspiring cauliflower recipes, you’re in the right place. Cauliflower is a great go-to ingredient. You can cook with the florets, as well as the stems, and stalks. I love it grilled, broiled, blanched, pureed, sautéed – just about any way you can imagine.
Cauliflower is fast to prepare and cook, and a powerfully nutritious member of the cruciferous vegetable family – thought to contain a powerful arsenal of anticancer compounds. Here are my favorite cauliflower recipes and preparations. Please enjoy!
Black Pepper Cauliflower Salad
A friday lunch favorite - cauliflower florets doused in a warm black pepper and red onion vinaigrette, and tossed with nuts, apples, olives, and a bit of feta.
Moroccan Mint Roasted Vegetables
A few snapshots from my week in Marrakesh, Morocco + the recipe for a platter of roasted vegetables spiced with dried mint, cumin, ginger, cinnamon, and a kiss of chile. So good with a dollop of salted yogurt and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
Tortilla Salad
A tortilla salad made from all sorts of good stuff - heirloom beans, avocado, watermelon radish, and cauliflower. Electric colors, punchy dressing, fresh and filling.
Sesame Yogurt Pasta Salad
An off-beat pasta salad made with stuffed pasta, seasonal vegetables, and a spice-forward, golden sesame yogurt sauce.
Winter Vegetable & Tofu Korma
A thick, cumin and coriander-spiced root vegetable stew. It's a free-wheeling one-pot dinner that attempts to use up whatever winter vegetables I have lingering about.
Spicy Cauliflower with Sesame
Cauliflower tastes great like this. Imagine a skillet of caramelized onions cooked down with fragrant cumin, ginger, garlic, sesame seeds and chiles. Add cauliflower and cook until tender. Vibrant, spicy, sweet earthiness, all on one plate.
Cashew Curry
A simple, last-minute curry recipe - curry powder in coconut milk, deeply toasted cashew nuts, a handful of green beans, two handfuls of tiny cauliflower florets, and a bit of tofu for good measure.
Ten Minute Couscous Soup
a pot of quick-cooking, beautiful, brothy couscous soup topped with a bit of melted goat cheese and bright broccoli and cauliflower florets. It is all punctuated with a spoonful of finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
Chickpea Hot Pot
Not a traditional hotpot recipe, instead...a fast-cooking bulgur cooks in a light orange-juice accented broth. Plenty of chickpeas, tiny cauliflower pieces, onions, and greens add texture and substance to the hearty pot.
Cauliflower Soup with Gorgonzola
From Skye Gyngell's cookbook A Year in my Kitchen this simple, satisfying cauliflower soup recipe is perfect served up with a bit of cold winter weather.
