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.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

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.

ROCKIN' GOOD SMASHED CAULIFLOWER WITH GARLIC

Rockin' Good Smashed Cauliflower with Garlic image

I substituted this dish for mashed potatoes as a low-carb alternative, and my husband said it was 'rockin' good.' Flavors of Parmesan, garlic, and chives brought cauliflower to a new level and we didn't miss the potatoes. This goes well with a nice grilled steak or London broil.

Smash butter and chives into cauliflower and garlic with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Stir light cream into smashed cauliflower mixture.
Sprinkle Parmesan-Reggiano cheese onto cauliflower mixture; season with salt and black pepper.

Tips:

To save time, use a food processor to finely chop the cauliflower. This will also help to ensure that the cauliflower is evenly cooked.
If you don't have a food processor, you can use a sharp knife to chop the cauliflower. Just be sure to chop it very finely, so that it cooks evenly.
Be careful not to overcook the cauliflower. It should be tender, but still have a slight crunch to it.
If you want a more flavorful sauce, you can add a tablespoon of chopped garlic to the food processor along with the almonds and olive oil.
Garnish the cauliflower with chopped parsley or cilantro before serving.

Conclusion:

Coliflor al Ajiace is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. The garlic sauce is creamy and flavorful, and it pairs perfectly with the tender cauliflower. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
