Tangy Cauliflower With Peanut Sauce image

This is such a refreshing way to use cauliflower. I can eat the whole thing by myself...and sometimes I do. This is also nice with some chopped nuts sprinkled on top. UPDATE: On 01/14/08 I made this the way Rita describes....cooking it all together but upping the apple juice with 2 more tbsp It worked well and cuts out a step. Thanks Rita, for a lovely idea!

Categories     Cauliflower

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups cauliflower florets
1 teaspoon lime juice, fresh
1/2 teaspoon lime peel, fresh, minced
2 garlic cloves, minces
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
1/8 teaspoon red pepper
1 tablespoon peanut butter, plus
1 teaspoon peanut butter
1/3 cup apple juice, natural

Steps:

  • Over medium-high heat, cook cauliflower in small amount of water until just fork-tender. Drain & set aside.
  • Combine rest of ingredients in small saucepan & bring to a low simmer.
  • Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens enough to adhere to back of spoon.
  • Toss sauce and cauliflower together & serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: Select a head of cauliflower that is firm and tightly packed, with no signs of bruising or wilting. A heavy cauliflower is a good sign of freshness. If there is space between the florets, the cauliflower is older.
  • Clean and cut the cauliflower correctly: Cut the cauliflower into florets of roughly equal size, about 1-2 inches in diameter. This will help them cook evenly. Rinse the florets thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a variety of spices and herbs: The key to making a flavorful cauliflower dish is to use a variety of spices and herbs. Some popular options include cumin, coriander, turmeric, ginger, garlic, and chili powder. You can also add fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or mint.
  • Cook the cauliflower properly: Overcooking cauliflower will make it mushy and bland. Cook it just until it is tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. You can steam, stir-fry, roast, or grill cauliflower.
  • Add other vegetables and protein: To make a more complete meal, add other vegetables and protein to your cauliflower dish. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, carrots, peas, chicken, or tofu.

Conclusion:

Tangy cauliflower is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With its slightly spicy and tangy flavor, it is a great addition to any meal. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy side dish or a hearty and flavorful main course, tangy cauliflower is sure to please. So next time you are looking for something new and exciting to try, give tangy cauliflower a try!
