CRISPY CAULIFLOWER WITH LEMON AIOLI

Steps:

• For the cauliflower: Preheat a fryer to 350 degrees F, or heat 3 inches oil to 350 degrees F in a Dutch oven or deep skillet. Line a baking sheet with a wire rack.
• Whisk the eggs with the Parmesan in a bowl. Mix the flour and salt in another bowl. Dip the cauliflower in the Parmesan egg mixture, then into the salted flour, then into the fryer. Fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Season the cauliflower with salt while still in either the fryer basket or strainer and pour on the prepared wire rack.
• For the lemon aioli: Add the mayonnaise, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste to a medium bowl and stir to combine. Pour into a serving bowl and garnish with the chives.
• Arrange the crispy cauliflower on a platter. Grate some Parmesan over, then sprinkle with the lemon zest and chives. Serve alongside the lemon aioli.

SOUTH BEACH CAULIFLOWER MASH WITH CHIVES

Steps:

• Combine cauliflower, garlic cloves, and broth in a large saucepan. If cauliflower is not completely covered by the broth, add water until just covered. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until cauliflower is tender, about 12 minutes.
• Reserve 2 Tbsp of the cooking liquid and drain cauliflower (don't dry it, but allow it to drain fairly thoroughly). Transfer cauliflower and garlic to the bowl of a food processor, and process until smooth, pulsing in one or two tbsp of the reserved broth, if necessary, to moisten mixture. You might want to use fat free cream cheese during this step instead of the broth for extra body and creaminess. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Just before serving, stir in chopped chives. Serve warm.

• Combine butter mixture and vegetables in large pot. Toss gently over medium heat until vegetables are heated through and coated with butter mixture, about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon chives.
