Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium head cauliflower
1 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt
3 large eggs, beaten
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
About 1 cup olive oil
2 1/2 cups marinara sauce, from a 24-ounce jar
1/2 pound fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a plate with paper towels.
  • Pull off the leaves from the base of the cauliflower and cut off the stem, but do not cut out the core. Slice the cauliflower into 1-inch thick slices, aiming for about 3 nice "steaks" from the center. The rest will break into smaller florets, and that is okay.
  • Mix the flour with 1 teaspoon salt in a shallow bowl or pie plate. Put the eggs in another shallow bowl and panko in a third shallow bowl.
  • Add 1/4 inch olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  • Working with the larger pieces first, add the cauliflower to the flour and turn to coat. Shake off the excess, then dip in the egg to coat. Let the excess egg drip off, then coat thoroughly in the panko. Fry the cauliflower in batches to avoid overcrowding, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer to the lined plate to drain and sprinkle with salt. Repeat with the remaining smaller pieces of cauliflower (leave out any tiny crumbly pieces).
  • Spread 1 cup marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Arrange the fried cauliflower on top, then spoon 1 cup of the sauce on top of the cauliflower. Arrange the mozzarella over the sauce, then spoon the remaining 1/2 cup marinara over the top. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and bake until bubbling and lightly browned in spots, about 35 minutes. Sprinkle with the basil and serve.

CURRIED CAULIFLOWER AND CHICKPEA DUMP DINNER



Curried Cauliflower and Chickpea Dump Dinner image

Skip cooking a big pot of rice and throw the ingredients into a casserole dish instead for an easy dump-dinner meal. The basmati rice and chickpeas absorb all the delicious flavors of ginger, garlic, curry powder and coconut milk. Finish with a quick drizzle of yogurt along with fresh cilantro leaves and lime wedges for a simple and complete meal.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
One 13.5-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
4 cloves garlic, finely grated
1 tablespoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger (from a 1- to 2-inch piece)
1 serrano chile pepper, stemmed and finely chopped (remove seeds for less heat)
2 1/2 teaspoons curry powder, preferably Madras
Kosher salt
Two 15.5-ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 cups lightly packed baby spinach, roughly chopped
1 1/2 cups basmati rice
1/2 medium head cauliflower, cut into small florets (about 3 heaping cups)
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
Cilantro leaves, plain whole-milk yogurt and lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • Whisk the vegetable broth, coconut milk, garlic, ginger, serrano, curry powder and 2 teaspoons salt together in a medium bowl until combined. Add the chickpeas and spinach and stir to coat.
  • Spread the rice evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish. Pour in the coconut-milk mixture, distributing the chickpeas and spinach evenly over the rice. Scatter the cauliflower and onion over the top, making sure to go all the way to the edge of the pan (it's okay if the cauliflower is not completely submerged in liquid).
  • Cover tightly with foil and bake until the vegetables have softened but are still vibrant, about 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the cauliflower is charred in spots and the rice is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes more. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow the rice to absorb more of the moisture. Serve topped with cilantro, a drizzle of yogurt and lime wedges for squeezing.

CURRIED CAULIFLOWER CASSEROLE



Curried Cauliflower Casserole image

This will serve 4 people, but can easily be doubled and baked in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish, also adjust the amount of curry powder to suit taste. One 16-ounce package frozen cauliflower may be substituted for fresh, but the fresh is better! To make this into a main dish throw in some cooked chopped chicken or turkey.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is compact and has a uniform color. Avoid heads that are loose or have brown or yellow spots.
  • Cut the cauliflower into small florets: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the cauliflower: It should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
  • Use a good quality curry powder: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spices: If you like things spicy, add more curry powder or cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less.
  • Serve the casserole with your favorite sides: Rice, quinoa, or naan bread are all good options.
