CHARRED CAULIFLOWER STEW

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high and lightly oil the grates, if you'd like, to make cleanup easier. (Or, if you don't have a grill, heat the broiler to high and lightly oil a baking sheet.) Take one of the heads of cauliflower, pull off the leaves, and slice it into big slabs, stalk and all. Throw the slices on the grill and cook on each side until you get nice char marks, about 3 minutes per side, or broil until they turn dark brown, about 10 minutes (no need to flip them). Let slices cool, then roughly chop them. (You aren't fully cooking the slices; they'll cook in the stew. What you want to do is get that char on there.)
• Take the other head of cauliflower and grate 1/2 cup cauliflower florets into a small bowl. Break off a big chunk (about a quarter of the head) and set it aside, then roughly chop the rest.
• Prepare the pickled cauliflower: Mix the grated cauliflower with lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt and let sit until stew is ready to be served.
• Put 1/4 cup oil in a large pot, and set it over medium heat. Once it's hot, add onions, garlic, coriander, mustard and cayenne. Cook, stirring, until onions are almost translucent but haven't browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Stir in parsnips and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until the parsnips soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the raw chopped cauliflower, the big chunk of cauliflower and the potatoes. Stir a few times, then pour in the stock. Increase heat to medium-high, bring to a simmer and let cook until the potatoes are tender, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Remove from heat and transfer that big chunk of now-cooked cauliflower into a blender along with 2 cups of the soup. Make sure you get some potatoes, parsnips and celery in there. Blend, but do it carefully. Hot soup has a tendency to explode. Start it on low and slowly increase the speed.
• Pour the blended mixture back into your big pot of stew, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the grilled or broiled cauliflower. When you're ready to serve, bring it up to a boil again.
• To serve, divide watercress between 6 large bowls. Ladle the stew into the bowls and top with cheese, tarragon and pickled cauliflower.

STEAMED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Set a steamer basket in a large saucepan with a lid. Fill with enough salted water to come just below basket; bring to a boil. Add 1 head cauliflower (about 2 pounds), cored and cut into small florets. Reduce to a simmer, and cover; cook until tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

CAULIFLOWER-AND-LENTIL STEW WITH ONION RELISH

Steps:

• Place 1/2 cup onion in a small bowl of ice water. Heat oil in a pot over medium-high; add remaining onion and ginger and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Add garam masala; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add lentils, cauliflower, tomatoes, 3 cups water, and 1 teaspoon salt to pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until lentils are cooked through and soup has thickened, about 20 minutes.
• Stir in kale; cook until just wilted, about 1 minute. Season to taste. Drain reserved onion and place in a bowl with lime zest and juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt; toss to combine. Serve stew with onion relish spooned over top, drizzled with oil.

STEWED CAULIFLOWER, BUTTERNUT SQUASH, AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Pour the olive oil into a large saucepan set over medium-high heat. When the oil starts to shimmer, scatter in the sliced garlic and let it start sizzling. Stir in the onion slices and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the squash and cauliflower pieces, capers, 1 teaspoon salt, and the red pepper flakes and use tongs to toss it all together.
• Pour in the crushed tomatoes and their juices. Slosh the water into the can and add; stir well and cover. When the tomato juices are boiling, decrease the heat to medium-low or low so that the mixture is gently bubbling. Cook, covered, until the vegetables are tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Uncover, increase the heat to medium-high, and continue cooking until the stew is reduced and thickened to a good pasta-sauce consistency, about 5 minutes. Add the fish sauce, taste, and add more fish sauce and salt if desired.
• Eat a cup or two as a vegetarian main course and refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks, or freeze it in cup-size portions for several months.
