1 head cauliflower
1 egg, beaten
½ cup plain bread crumbs
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon onion powder

  • Mix chili powder, cumin, onion powder, and garlic powder together in a small bowl.

One of our favorite vegetables gets the royal treatment: It's filled with a cheesy, bacony kale stuffing, coated in crispy breadcrumbs and baked until melting and tender. You can make it vegetarian by replacing the bacon with 4 ounces of sliced button mushrooms.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 slices bacon
Kosher salt
1 large head cauliflower
8 ounces kale, stems removed
2 large eggs, beaten to blend
4 scallions, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
3/4 cup grated Muenster cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan
3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
1/3 cup (5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon) butter, melted

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Arrange the bacon on the prepared baking sheet and roast until the bacon is browned and the fat has rendered, 15 minutes. When cool enough to handle, finely chop and transfer to a medium bowl. Reserve the baking sheet.
  • Meanwhile, bring a heavily salted pot of water to a boil over high heat (the water should be very salty, even more than the sea). Carefully remove as much of the cauliflower stem as you can without cutting any of the stalks of the florets. Remove any small inner leaves. (You want to be able to freely pipe filling into the nooks of the cauliflower.)
  • Boil the cauliflower until just beginning to get tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Do not overcook, or it will break apart as you stuff it. Carefully remove the head from the water and allow to drain and cool.
  • Add the kale to the same pot and cook bright green, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and squeeze dry. When cool enough to handle, finely chop and transfer to the bowl with the bacon.
  • Add the eggs, scallions, garlic, Muenster, cream, 1/2 cup panko, 1/4 cup Parmesan and 2 tablespoons oregano to the kale mixture and stir to combined. Transfer to a large piping bag (or 1-gallon freezer bag) and cut a 3/4-inch opening at the tip. Turn the cauliflower stem-side up, and start piping the filling in between the stalks of the florets until you've used about half of the filling. (The bottom of the head will start to expand, and you will see the filling start to push out from the top in between the florets. Turn the cauliflower right-side up and use your finger to push between the florets to separate them slightly and pipe filling in the gaps. Use all the filling, even if it looks like the cauliflower is going to explode -- it won't. It will just be full of flavor!
  • Mix together the butter with the remaining 2 tablespoons panko, 2 tablespoons Parmesan and 1 tablespoon oregano in a small bowl. Put the cauliflower right-side up in the center of the reserved baking sheet and smear with the butter mixture to coat the entire head. Bake until deep golden brown, 45 to 55 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before cutting into wedges.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH CHEDDAR CHEESE SAUCE



Roasted Cauliflower with Cheddar Cheese Sauce image

Categories     Side     Roast     St. Patrick's Day     Cheddar     Cauliflower     Winter     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large head cauliflower (about 1 pound total)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 cups whole milk
10 ounces Cheddar cheese or similar, grated (about 1 1/4 cup)
Special Equipment
12- by 8-inch baking dish

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375°F. Arrange a steamer rack over a large pot of boiling water.
  • Remove the green outer leaves from the cauliflower, place it on the steamer rack, and steam until tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl to cool. Once the cauliflower is cool enough to handle, use your hands to gently break the florets from the thick central stalk-try to break the cauliflower into large florets rather than small pieces. Arrange the florets, in one layer, in a 12- by 8-inch baking dish and set aside.
  • In a large heavy saucepan over moderate heat, melt the butter. Reduce the heat to low, add the flour and salt, and whisk until both are incorporated and the mixture turns golden brown, about 2 minutes. Raise the heat to moderate and add the milk, whisking constantly, until a smooth sauce forms (the sauce should be thick and glossy, but still runny), about 5 minutes. (If the sauce is too thick, gradually whisk in additional milk until the desired consistency is achieved.) Add 1 cup of the grated cheese and whisk until melted, about 1 minute. Pour the cheese sauce over the cauliflower, making sure to cover all the florets. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese and season with pepper, then bake until the cauliflower is golden brown and the cheese sauce is bubbling, about 30 minutes.
