PAN-ROASTED SPICED CAULIFLOWER WITH PEAS



Pan-Roasted Spiced Cauliflower With Peas image

This dish is inspired by a trip to Curry Hill, a neighborhood in New York dotted with stores selling saris, Indian restaurants, Pakistani cafes and hole-in-the-wall spice shops. When I got home from my shopping spree, a cauliflower was screaming for Indian spices, garlic and ginger. Better still, I knew I could knock together a pan-roasted meal in about 20 minutes.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons ghee, clarified butter or vegetable oil
1 small cauliflower about 1 1/2 pounds, cored, in 1/2-inch slices
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
2 teaspoons grated fresh turmeric or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 to 3 makrut lime leaves (optional)
1 (1-inch) piece of ginger, peeled and slivered or finely grated
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 serrano chiles, finely chopped, or to taste
1 pound fresh English peas, shucked about 1 cup or frozen peas, or 1/2 pound snow peas or sugar snap peas, trimmed
2 to 3 scallions, slivered
Cilantro sprigs, for garnish
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a large sauté pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Add the ghee or oil, and when it is hot, add the cauliflower. Stir until the cauliflower begins to color, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Continue stirring until the cauliflower is half-cooked, about 5 minutes, lowering the heat if necessary to keep it from browning too quickly.
  • Add the cumin, mustard seeds, turmeric and makrut lime leaves, if using. When they begin to sizzle, add the ginger, garlic and chilies. Stir well and add the peas, along with a sprinkle of salt. Cover to let the peas steam until tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with the slivered scallions and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

Try roasted romanesco with a salty tang of anchovies and capers, plus a sweet note of currants. It's a great side dish and also works well tossed through pasta

Provided by Diana Henry

Categories     Side dish

Time 40m

Yield Serves 4 as a side

Number Of Ingredients 11

25g currants
1 romanesco , broken into small florets
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 banana shallots , peeled, halved and sliced lengthways
2 garlic cloves , finely sliced
¼ tsp chilli flakes
6 anchovies in oil, drained and roughly chopped
½ tbsp capers , drained and rinsed
10g pine nuts or flaked almonds, toasted
1 tbsp roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley , or a mixture of roughly chopped parsley and mint
squeeze of lemon juice

Steps:

  • Put the currants in a small bowl and cover with boiled water. Leave to soak for 1 hr. Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5.
  • Arrange the romanesco in a roasting tin in a single layer. Add 2 tbsp of the oil, season and toss to combine. Roast for 20 mins until tender (keep an eye on it as it cooks more quickly than cauliflower), tossing halfway through to make sure it's evenly coloured.
  • Meanwhile, cook the shallots in the remaining oil over a medium heat for about 10 mins until golden. Reduce the heat and add the garlic, chilli flakes and anchovies and cook for 2 mins more. Gently press the anchovies with the back of a wooden spoon to help them dissolve. Drain the currants and add to the pan along with the capers, nuts, herbs and lemon juice. Toss with the roasted romanesco and transfer to a serving plate.

PAN-ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH GARLIC, PARSLEY AND ROSEMARY



Pan-Roasted Cauliflower With Garlic, Parsley and Rosemary image

Nearly any vegetable tastes good browned in olive oil and showered with garlic, parsley and rosemary, but cauliflower is an especially good candidate for this technique. The inherent sweetness of cauliflower begs for a hit of lemon and hot pepper too. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     easy, quick, vegetables, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium cauliflower heads (about 2 pounds)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and black pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper, or to taste
1 teaspoon grated or finely minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon freshly chopped rosemary
1/2 cup roughly chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 cup roasted salted almonds (homemade or store bought), roughly chopped
1 red fresno chile, thinly sliced, for garnish (optional)
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Cut each cauliflower in quarters and remove the core. Cut quarters into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Chop down wider slices so all are approximately the same jagged size.
  • Heat olive oil in a heavy wide skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add cauliflower and toss to coat using a metal spatula or flat wooden spoon. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Keeping heat brisk, repeatedly turn the cauliflower, letting the slices brown as they cook. Adjust heat as necessary to keep them sizzling nicely but not scorching. Continue to stir and flip the cauliflower until it is tender when pierced with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Add crushed red pepper, garlic, rosemary, parsley and lemon zest. Stir well to coat and cook 1 minute more. Check seasoning, then transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with almonds and fresno chile, if using, and serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the right Romanesco cauliflower: Look for a head that is compact and has tightly closed florets. Avoid any heads that have brown spots or bruises.
  • Trim the Romanesco cauliflower properly: Cut off the bottom inch of the stem and then cut the head into 1-inch florets. Be sure to cut through the stem so that the florets are easy to separate.
  • Roast the Romanesco cauliflower at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the florets and give them a slightly crispy texture. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the Romanesco cauliflower, be sure to give the florets enough space so that they can roast evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the florets will steam instead of roast.
  • Season the Romanesco cauliflower well: Before roasting, be sure to season the Romanesco cauliflower with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. This will help to enhance the flavor of the vegetables.
  • Add peas towards the end of cooking: Peas cook quickly, so it's best to add them to the pan towards the end of roasting. This will help to prevent them from overcooking and becoming mushy.

Conclusion:

Pan-roasted Romanesco cauliflower with peas is a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. The Romanesco cauliflower is roasted until slightly crispy and caramelized, while the peas add a pop of color and sweetness. This dish is also relatively healthy, as it is low in calories and fat and high in fiber and vitamins. Overall, pan-roasted Romanesco cauliflower with peas is a great way to enjoy this unique and flavorful vegetable.
