Honey Lemon Cauliflower Recipes

CRISPY FRIED HONEY LEMON GLAZED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Being by setting up a dredging station. First, lightly beat the eggs in a small bowl and set aside.
• Next, add the panko bread crumbs to a small bowl and set aside.
• Lastly, add the cauliflower florets to a large bowl, add the flour, and toss to coat. Set aside.
• To prepare the sauce, add all of the ingredients to the sauce pan at once, except the corn starch. Place the cornstarch in a small bowl, add one tablespoon of water, and still until the cornstarch has dissolved. Add to the sauce pan and whisk to combine all ingredients. Bring the mixture to a slight simmer and allow to thicken while you fry the cauliflower.
• Begin by heating the vegetable oil in a deep pot to 375 degrees. (You can also use a deep fryer if you have one.)
• Coat each cauliflower floret in the egg and then coat with the panko bread crumbs.
• Carefully place the panko-coated cauliflower florets into the hot oil. Fry each piece until golden brown - about 3 minutes. Remove from the oil and allow to drain on a paper towel lined baking sheet.
• Once all of the pieces are fried, increase the temperature of the oil to 385 degrees and re-fry the nuggets of cauliflower for another 30-60 seconds. This will provide a deeper colour and a better crunch. This step is completely optional!
• Lastly, plate the cauliflower and spoon the thick, hot sauce over top. Serve immediately.

HONEY-LEMON GLAZED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• 1. Heat 3 tbsp. oil in a heavy duty 12-inch skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower and 1/2 tsp. salt - stir to coat. Cook, without stirring, until the cauliflower is browned on one side; about 4 minutes. Turn each piece over and cook, without stirring, until evenly browned on the second side, about 4 minutes more. Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking, stirring often, until browned all over, about 4 minutes longer.
• 2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir 3 tbsp. water and the remaining 1 tbsp. oil with the onion, honey, ground coriander, paprika and pepper flakes.
• 3. Add the onion mixture to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, about 1 minute. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the cauliflower is glazed - about 4 minutes.
• 4. Transfer to a serving bowl, stir in the lemon juice and zest and garnish with the cilantro. Serve immediately.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER SALAD WITH HALLOUMI AND LEMON

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees and set a large rimmed baking sheet on the middle rack.
• In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower with 3 tablespoons olive oil, the Aleppo, coriander, turmeric, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Transfer to the hot baking sheet, spread in an even layer and roast until browned in spots and crisp-tender, tossing once halfway through, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, stir together the shallot, raisins, preserved lemon, vinegar and honey with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
• Prepare the halloumi: Cut the halloumi into 3/4-inch cubes and pat dry using a kitchen towel or paper towels. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high. Add the halloumi cubes and cook, stirring frequently, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. (You'll want to be fairly attentive, flipping frequently, as you want to make sure the cubes toast without burning or melting.) Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season with pepper.
• Toss the arugula with half the vinaigrette until lightly coated and divide among plates or shallow bowls. Top with the cauliflower, halloumi and avocado. Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette, sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

LEMONY CAULIFLOWER WITH GARLIC AND HERBS

Steps:

• Finely grate the zest of the lemon into a large heatproof bowl, then halve the lemon and squeeze in juice. Stir in salt to dissolve it. Add cauliflower, jalapeño, scallions, dill and parsley and toss to combine. In a large skillet, heat olive oil until hot, but not smoking. Add garlic and cumin, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in red-pepper flakes.
• Pour mixture over cauliflower and toss well. Let cool completely, then cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 48 hours to let the flavors mingle.
• Toss well before serving, adding more salt or a squeeze of lemon to taste. For the best flavor, serve at room temperature.
