Number Of Ingredients 8

1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
1 large jalapeno or hot green chile pepper, seeds removed, minced, plus 1 small jalapeno or green chile pepper, thinly sliced, for garnish
10 ounces cauliflower florets, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus leaves for garnish
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Toast cumin seeds in a small, dry skillet over medium-low heat until aromatic, about 2 minutes, shaking pan to avoid burning. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-low heat. When oil is hot, add mustard and cumin seeds; after a few seconds seeds will pop. Immediately add chiles and sliced cauliflower; saute, stirring often to keep from burning, until just tender and golden brown around the edges, about 8 minutes. The cauliflower should be al dente, tender but with some texture, not soft.
  • Stir in chopped cilantro just before removing mixture from pan. Drizzle with lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Garnish with chile slices and cilantro leaves. The saute is best served right away.

Slightly adapted from the cookbook The Art of Simple Food. You can add chopped fresh parsley and/or minced garlic near the end if desired, but it really isn't necessary.

Categories     Cauliflower

Time 35m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cauliflower
olive oil, as needed
salt, as needed

Steps:

  • Remove the base of the stem of the cauliflower with a sharp knife.
  • From the top down, cut the cauliflower into 1/4 inches slices. (Some of the slices will crumble, but those still taste good, they just don't look as pretty.).
  • Heat 2 Table olive oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick frying pan.
  • Add one batch of the cauliflower (in a single layer) and cook until brown on the first side. Use a spachula to flip over the cauliflower.
  • Fry the cauliflower until brown on the second side, adding more olive oil if needed.
  • At this time, I usually add 2-3 Table. water, turn over the cauliflower again, cover and cook for several more minutes.
  • Repeat on the second side if the cauliflower is not quite tender. The cauliflower tastes best if it has gotten very brown.
  • Sprinkle with salt.
  • Remove the first batch, keeping warm, and doing a second and third batch (if you still have cauliflower to cook) until all of the cauliflower has been sauteed.

Tips:

  • Make sure to cut the cauliflower florets into even-sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the cauliflower. This will prevent it from getting crispy and evenly browned.
  • If you don't have a large enough skillet, you can cook the cauliflower in batches.
  • Season the cauliflower liberally with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
  • Serve the cauliflower immediately after cooking. It can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a main course.

Conclusion:

This seasoned cauliflower sauté is a simple and delicious dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are looking for a healthy side dish or a hearty main course, this recipe is sure to please.
