SPICY CAULIFLOWER WITH GINGER, CUMIN AND TOMATOES
Cauliflower lends itself well to curries, and the combination of cauliflower and turmeric, an essential spice in curries, has an added health benefit for men. Studies sited on the World's Healthiest Foods website (whfoods.com), have shown that the main phytonutrient in turmeric (curcumin) and a phytonutrient that is abundant in cruciferous vegetables (phenethyl isothiocyanates), when taken together can be effective in preventing prostate cancer and also in inhibiting the spread of established prostate cancer cells. Serve this chile-laced stir-fry with rice or other grains, and with flat Indian bread.

Steps:
- Place the cauliflower in a steaming basket above 1 inch boiling water. Cover and steam for 1 minute. Lift the lid and allow steam to escape for 15 seconds, then cover again and steam for 5 minutes, or until the cauliflower is just tender. Remove from the heat and refresh with cold water. Quarter the larger florets and set the cauliflower aside.
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy nonstick skillet or wok above medium heat. Add the ginger, cumin seeds and chiles and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the cauliflower and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, ground coriander, cayenne, turmeric, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, until the tomatoes have cooked down and the mixture is fragrant. Taste and adjust salt. Stir in the cilantro, stir for another 30 seconds, and serve, passing lime wedges for squeezing.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH PANCETTA, OLIVES AND CRISP PARMESAN
Studded with salty olives, pancetta and Parmesan that gets golden and crisp at the edges, this is roasted cauliflower at its brightest and most full-flavored. You can serve the caramelized florets either as a vegetable-based main dish or a hearty side to roasted meats or fish, or big bowls of pasta. The recipe calls for using a package of finely diced pancetta that practically melts into the sauce. But if you prefer a chunkier texture, you can dice it yourself into 1/2-inch cubes, and add them with the cauliflower. Or, to make this vegetarian, just leave the pancetta out.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet and toss with 1/4 cup olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt until well coated. Roast for 15 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olives, garlic, lemon juice, 1/8 teaspoon red-pepper flakes and a large pinch of salt. Drizzle in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, whisking well.
- After the cauliflower has roasted for 15 minutes, add pancetta and cumin seeds to pan and gently mix to combine. Sprinkle Parmesan on top and roast for another 15 to 20 minutes, until cauliflower is tender, the pancetta rendered, and cheese is golden brown and crunchy.
- Spoon olive dressing all over roasted cauliflower while still hot and toss to combine. Taste, and add more salt, red-pepper flakes or lemon juice, if needed. Scatter parsley over the top before serving.
Tips:
- To achieve the perfect roasted cauliflower, choose a head that is compact and heavy for its size. This indicates a fresh and flavorful cauliflower.
- Cutting the cauliflower into florets of uniform size ensures even cooking. Aim for florets that are about 1-2 inches in size.
- Toss the cauliflower florets in a mixture of olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This helps to enhance their flavor and create a crispy exterior.
- Spread the cauliflower florets in a single layer on a baking sheet. Overcrowding the pan will prevent them from roasting evenly.
- Roast the cauliflower florets at a high temperature (425°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
- For a more flavorful dish, try roasting the cauliflower with other vegetables, such as broccoli, carrots, or Brussels sprouts.
- To add a spicy kick, sprinkle some cayenne pepper or chili powder over the cauliflower florets before roasting.
- For a smoky flavor, roast the cauliflower florets on a grill or over an open fire.
- Roasted cauliflower can be enjoyed as a side dish, added to salads, or used as a topping for tacos, burritos, or pizzas.
Conclusion:
Roasted cauliflower with cumin seed is a versatile and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed in various ways. Experiment with different roasting techniques and seasonings to create a dish that suits your taste preferences. Whether you serve it as a side dish, add it to salads, or use it as a topping, roasted cauliflower is a delicious and healthy addition to any meal. Its versatility makes it a perfect choice for busy home cooks who want to create a quick and easy yet impressive dish.
