Red Hot Cauliflower Recipes

RED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Chop the onion very finely and place in a bowl.
• With a zester peel away the zest of the lime in thin strips.
• Add to the chopped onion.
• Cut the lime in half and add the juice from both halves to the onions and lime zest mixture.
• Set aside so that the lime juice can soften the onion.
• Cut the cauliflower into florets.
• Tip the tomatoes into a pan and add the peppers (or chillies) and sugar.
• Heat gently.
• Meanwhile, place the cauliflower in a pan of boiling water and cook gently for 5 to 8 minutes until tender crisp.
• Add the onions to the tomato salsa and salt to taste, stir in and heat through, then spoon about a third of the salsa into a serving dish.
• Arrange the drained cauliflower florets on top of the salsa and spoon the remaining salsa on top.
• Sprinkle with the feta, which should soften a little on contact.
• Serve immediately, sprinkled with chopped fresh flat leaved parsley.

RED HOT CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Trim the cauliflower of leaves and stringy or tough stalk. Separate into florets and cut the stalk into thick strips. Boil in salted water until just cooked, about 10 minutes, drain and run under the cold tap.
• Meanwhile, chop up the chilies and put with their seeds and the red pepper into a large frying pan. Add the oil. Heat gently for about 10 minutes to extract some of the pepper flavors into the oil.
• Raise heat to moderate and put in the cauliflower. Stir to reheat; the vegetable should stew rather than fry; it must not color. Transfer the vegetable to a hot dish with the pepper and chili bits leaving behind any surplus oil. Serve immediately.
