SILKY CAULIFLOWER SOUP WITH PARMESAN CRISPS



Silky Cauliflower Soup with Parmesan Crisps image

Provided by Dave Lieberman

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 head cauliflower
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 quart low-sodium chicken stock
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup shredded Parmesan
Chopped chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Remove the leaves and thick core from the cauliflower, coarsely chop, and reserve. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan or soup pot over medium heat and add the onion and garlic. Cook until softened, but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the cauliflower and stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until the cauliflower is very soft and falling apart, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and, using a hand held immersion blender, puree the soup, or puree in small batches in a blender* and return it to the pot. Add the Parmesan and stir until smooth. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper. Keep warm until ready to serve.
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spread the shredded cheese over the foil in 1 even thin layer. Bake about 10 minutes until golden brown and crisps. Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes. Break sheet of crisp cheese into large pieces and garnish each soup bowl with a couple shards and a pinch of fresh chives.
  • *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

TOMATO CAESAR SALAD WITH BACON-PARMESAN CRISPS



Tomato Caesar Salad With Bacon-Parmesan Crisps image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 slices thick-cut bacon
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
4 anchovy fillets, rinsed and minced
1 small clove garlic, finely grated
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
5 medium or large heirloom tomatoes, sliced crosswise about 1/2 inch thick
Flaky sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Watercress or baby arugula, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat, turning, until very crisp. Drain on paper towels until cool, then finely chop.

Tips:

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Pre-grated cheese contains additives that can prevent the crisps from melting properly.
  • Use a non-stick baking mat or parchment paper. This will prevent the crisps from sticking to the baking sheet.
  • Bake the crisps until they are golden brown and bubbly. This will ensure that they are crispy and flavorful.
  • Let the crisps cool completely before serving. This will help them to firm up and become even crispier.
  • Store the crisps in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:
