Cauliflower Cookbook - Leanne Kitchen
Turn on the oven, throw in some spice and parmesan-slathered bits of cauliflower, bake until it’s all gorgeously golden, then go find a movie to watch and dig in. Vary the seasonings to suit your taste—caraway seeds, for example, would work in place of the cumin and cilantro.
CAULIFLOWER
POPCORN
Serves 4–6
40 g (1½ oz/¼ cup) sesame seeds
1½ teaspoons cumin seeds
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1½ teaspoons onion powder
100 g (3½ oz/1 cup) grated parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 kg (2 lb 4 oz/about 1 medium) cauliflower, trimmed and cut into 2 cm (¾ inch) pieces
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line three baking trays with parchment paper.
Combine the sesame seeds, cumin seeds, coriander, onion powder, parmesan, salt and pepper in a food processor and process to a coarse powder.
Spread the cauliflower on the baking trays and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat, then sprinkle with the parmesan mixture. Bake, stirring occasionally, for 25 minutes, then swap the trays and bake for another 25 minutes or until deep golden. Serve hot.
You can never have enough hummus recipes under your belt and so . . . cauliflower hummus. Buy some ready-to-go pita bread, olives and Lebanese pickles, throw them on a platter with a few slices of pastirma and bits of Turkish string cheese or feta, wedges of tomato, olives and slices of cucumber and, voila: your mezze plate is sorted.
CAULIFLOWER
HUMMUS
Serves 4–6
800 g (1 lb 12 oz/about 1 small) cauliflower, trimmed and cut into small florets
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 x 400 g (14-oz) can chickpeas, drained
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons lemon juice, or to taste
2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
Sumac, to sprinkle
Pita bread, olives and Lebanese pickles etc, to serve
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Place the cauliflower in a single layer on a large baking tray and drizzle with 2½ tablespoons of the oil. Roast for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the cauliflower is golden and tender. Cool slightly.
Reserve half the cauliflower and place the other half in a food processor with as much olive oil as you can pour off the tray. Add the garlic and process until smooth, then add the chickpeas, cumin, tahini, lemon juice, remaining olive oil and 3 tablespoons water. Process until the mixture is very smooth. Season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, adding a little extra lemon juice if necessary.
Arrange in a serving bowl, then scatter with the reserved roast cauliflower and pine nuts. Sprinkle with sumac to taste, then serve with pita bread, olives and pickles.
This is what happens when you take the bread out of a cheese sandwich and replace it with . . . you guessed it . . . cauliflower. Serve with a salad on the side and you’ve got lunch or a light dinner, done and dusted. Divide this between two, instead of four, for a proper big meal.
CAULIFLOWER
CHEESE
SANDWICHES
Serves 4
1 kg (2 lb 4 oz/about 1 medium) cauliflower, trimmed
1 egg, beaten well
1 egg yolk
50 g (1¾ oz/½ cup) grated parmesan cheese
150 g (5½ oz/1½ cups) grated cheddar or mozzarella cheese
Cut the cauliflower into small pieces then, working in batches, process in a food processor until it is very finely chopped and resembles rice. Put in a large saucepan with 125 ml (4 fl oz/½ cup) water, cover tightly with a lid, then cook over medium–high heat, stirring often, for 5–6 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender. Transfer to a colander lined with a clean dish towel and cool
