Sous Vide Cauliflower

Let’s add to the variety of side dish recipes with another sous vide prepared vegetable. I found this recipe on the All Recipes website and immediately knew I had to try it. While I was intrigued by the simple, Asian inspired sauce it was cooked in, I opted to move slightly west for my inspiration India. Wanting to keep it simple, I cleaned and cut up the cauliflower, added two heavy soup spoons to the bottom of my recloseable bag for additional weight, added the cauliflower, ghee and garam masala. Once closed, I used my pump vacuum on the bag and dropped it into the water bath. 50 minutes later, I emptied the bag into a bowl and gave it a taste. The cauliflower was perfectly…

Smoked Cauliflower

Tonight I am sharing with you another side dish perfect for summer grilling. I tested this dish for the first time last year and really enjoyed it. It is simple to prepare and uniquely robust in flavor, definitely a change from your usual cauliflower dishes. I prepared this dish with just smoke, but you can also enhance it any way you like – season the cauliflower with dukkah, berbere, garam masala, curry, coriander, etc or drizzle with a sauce like balsamic glaze, sriracha mayo, apple cider vinegar, etc or any combination of the above!

Cauliflower Curry with Peas

This recipe is versatile as it can be augmented to make it a main dish with the addition of a protein like chicken or seafood. It is also extensible in that you can add other vegetables like carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, and/or green beans. And you can ‘dress it up’ with fresh herbs as a garnish – like cilantro or scallions. I made the basic form of this recipe since it was late and I was hungry. Hey, it beats running out to the nearest burger or teriyaki joint (not that there is anything wrong with that from time to time!). Anyway, I hope…

Coriander Roasted Cauliflower Soup with Prosciutto Bark

It is now soup season and this one is tasty… and easy! This recipe has become one of my favorite ways to enjoy cauliflower. The simplicity of the recipe belies the wonderful depth of flavor this soup has. Since most of the cooking happens in the oven, you gain some time to finish other tasks if desired. Also, this soup can be tweaked to suit your tastes, but I am delivering my ‘go to’ recipe here. Ready, set, let’s cook! Coriander Roasted Cauliflower Soup with Prosciutto Bark Ingredients: 1 small head of cauliflower, cut into flowerets 1 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp ground coriander salt fresh cracked pepper 3 slices prosciutto 3/4 cup vegetable broth (or chicken stock if desired) 1/2…
