Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup hazelnuts (filberts)
3 small or 2 large heads cauliflower (about 3 1/2 pounds)
10 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons snipped chives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place hazelnuts on a baking sheet; toast until fragrant, about 10 minutes. Transfer nuts to a kitchen towel; rub off loosened papery skins. Coarsely chop nuts; set aside.
  • Trim stems of cauliflower so they sit flat, keeping head intact. Bring several inches of water to a boil in a large steamer or in a pot fitted with a rack; add salt to taste. Steam cauliflower until just tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a platter.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add hazelnuts, and cook until butter turns brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat, and add lemon juice and chives. Season with salt, and stir to combine. Pour over cauliflower, and serve immediately.

1 large cauliflower (about 700g), cut into small florets
1 tbsp olive oil
small bunch thyme , leaves picked
100g hazelnuts , roughly chopped
350g penne
100g parmesan (or vegetarian alternative), grated

2 tbsp double cream
small pack parsley , chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the cauliflower with the oil, thyme and seasoning, and spread out on a large baking tray. Roast for 15-20 mins until starting to soften and caramelise. Sprinkle the hazelnuts over the cauliflower and cook for another 5 mins until the nuts are lightly toasted and the cauliflower cooked through. Meanwhile, cook the pasta following pack instructions.
  • Drain the pasta, reserving the cooking water, then return to the pan. Take the baking tray out of the oven and add the cauliflower and hazelnuts to the pasta, then stir in the Parmesan, egg, cream, parsley and 1 tbsp of cooking water. The heat from the pasta should be enough to just cook the egg without scrambling it. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more cooking water. Check the seasoning and serve.

Time 50m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 head cauliflower, broken into small florets (1 1/2 pounds total)
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 large celery stalk, cut on an angle into 1/4-inch slices (2/3 cup total)
5 tablespoons hazelnuts, with skins
1/3 cup small flat-leaf parsley leaves, picked

Tips:

  • Choose a cauliflower head that is about the size of a softball. A larger head will take longer to cook and will not be as tender.
  • Cut the cauliflower florets into uniform-sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • To roast the cauliflower, toss the florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until the florets are tender and slightly browned.
  • While the cauliflower is roasting, cook the pilaf. To do this, heat some olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened. Add the rice and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the rice is translucent. Add the broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Once the cauliflower and pilaf are cooked, combine them in a large bowl. Add the hazelnuts, parsley, and lemon zest. Toss to combine.
  • Serve the cauliflower and hazelnut pilaf immediately.

Conclusion:

This cauliflower and hazelnut pilaf is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. For example, you can add more or less hazelnuts, or you can use a different type of nut, such as walnuts or almonds. You can also add other vegetables to the pilaf, such as chopped carrots or celery. This dish is also a good source of protein and fiber.
