Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Steam the cauliflower:

    Fill a medium pot with 2 inches of water. Place a steamer basket into the pot, cover, and bring water to a simmer over high heat.

    Add the cauliflower florets and steam until fork tender, 10 to 13 minutes.

    Steam the cauliflower:
  2. Squeeze the cauliflower:

    Cool the steamed cauliflower slightly and transfer to a cheesecloth or kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible, about 3/4 cup of water. This should yield about 1 1/4 cup of squeezed cauliflower.

    Squeeze the cauliflower:
  3. Puree the cauliflower:

    Add the cauliflower, sea salt, and 2 tablespoons olive oil to a food processor. Process on high speed until the puree feels smooth in between your fingers, scraping down the sides as needed, 30 seconds. Then pulse for another 5 seconds.

    Puree the cauliflower:
  4. Make the dough:

    Whisk together potato starch and cassava flour in a medium-sized bowl. Add the pureed cauliflower and use a fork to mix the dough, just until the starches are combined. Lightly knead the dough until it comes together and can be rolled.

    Once combined, use your hands to gently knead the dough 3 or 4 times and then turn out onto cutting board. The dough will be smooth, soft and slightly tacky to the touch. Don't overwork.

    Make the dough:
  5. Shape the gnocchi:

    Using a bench scraper, divide dough into 8 equal parts. Gently roll each piece into a 2 1/2 inch log that is 3/4 inch thick. Cut each log into 3/4 inch pieces.

    For a ribbed pattern, roll the gnocchi over the back of the tines of a fork or gnocchi board.

    Shape the gnocchi:
  6. Boil the gnocchi:

    Bring lightly salted water to a boil in a medium pot. Carefully add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, about 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to scoop out and drain the gnocchi, and then transfer to a lightly oiled sheet pan.

    Boiled gnocchi can be transferred directly to a soup or sauce.

    Boil the gnocchi:
  7. Sauté the gnocchi (optional for crispy gnocchi):

    Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick sauté pan over medium heat. Cook the gnocchi in a single layer, keeping them from touching each other.

    Sauté until both sides are golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Repeat until all the gnocchi are cooked.

    Sauté the gnocchi (optional for crispy gnocchi):
  8. Serve:

    Transfer crispy gnocchi to a bowl and season with salt and pepper, and any other toppings such as Parmesan cheese and sage leaves.

Simple Cauliflower Soup

Simple Cauliflower Soup - cauliflower recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cook the cauliflower florets in salted water:

    Bring 1 quart of water to a rolling boil in a medium-sized pot. Add 2 teaspoons of salt to the water.

    Add the cauliflower florets, and cook until cooked through, about 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove florets to a bowl. Reserve cooking water.

  2. Purée the cooked cauliflower in batches:

    Working in batches, fill a blender half-way with cooked cauliflower, add enough cooking water to the blender bowl so that it comes up a quarter of the way. Purée until smooth. You want the consistency to be that of soup, so if you need to add more water, do so.

  3. Add the salt and butter:

    For each blender batch, add salt and butter to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and about a tablespoon or more of butter for each blender batch). Since you are using only lightly salted cooking water for a base, not stock, you will need to salt this more than you would otherwise.

  4. Serve:

    Serve immediately into bowls. Drizzle olive oil over the top and sprinkle with chopped chives.

Cheesy Baked Cauliflower

Cheesy Baked Cauliflower - cauliflower recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F :

    Set it to convection if you have it.

  2. Prepare the cauliflower and casserole dish:

    Butter a 2-quart (8-inch square) casserole dish. Toss the cauliflower with oil in a large bowl, then spread it on baking sheet in single layer. Roast the cauliflower for 20 minutes, until it is just barely tender and a little bit browned.

    Prepare the cauliflower and casserole dish:
  3. Coat the cheese in cornstarch:

    In a medium mixing bowl, toss together the cheddar cheese, Monterey jack cheese, and cornstarch. Measure out 1/2 cup of the cornstarch-coated cheese and set it aside for topping the casserole.

    Coat the cheese in cornstarch:
  4. Make the cheese sauce:

    In a large saucepan set over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and cook for about 1 minute, whisking constantly, just to combine the butter and flour completely and cook out the raw flour taste a bit—you don’t want the roux to brown or cook all that much yet.

    In a thin stream, pour in the milk and cream, continuing to whisk constantly to prevent lumps. Let the sauce come up to a simmer, about 3 to 4 minutes, then turn the heat down to medium low, and simmer just until the sauce begins to thicken. Turn off the heat.

    Whisk in the grated cheese, salt, paprika, garlic powder, pepper, mustard powder, and turmeric, until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.

    Make the cheese sauce:
  5. Combine the cauliflower and cheese sauce:

    When the cauliflower has finished roasting, transfer the florets to a large mixing bowl. While the cauliflower is still piping hot, add the warm cheese sauce and gently fold to combine, until all of the cauliflower is coated with the sauce.

    Combine the cauliflower and cheese sauce:
  6. Transfer the cauliflower to the casserole dish:

    Pour the sauced cauliflower into the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of cheese on top.

    Transfer the cauliflower to the casserole dish:
  7. Bake:

    Bake the casserole for 15 minutes, just until the cheese on top is bubbling and the cauliflower is piping hot all the way through.

  8. Serve:

    Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before spooning onto serving dishes. Serve warm.

Instructions

  1. Toss the cauliflower:

    Spread the cauliflower florets out on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle evenly with the salt and pepper. Use clean hands to toss the cauliflower on the sheet until it’s well coated, then spread it into an even layer.

  2. Roast:

    Roast the cauliflower until the edges are beginning to turn golden brown, about 15 minutes.

  3. Add the cheese and breadcrumbs:

    Remove the baking sheet from the oven and toss the cauliflower with a spatula. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the cauliflower, then top with the breadcrumbs and a shake of garlic powder.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cook the onions:

    In a ghablama, wok, or large sauté pan set over medium-high heat, add the onions. Sauté them, without any oil for about 4 minutes, until they soften, keeping a lid on as much as possible to trap steam. It’s okay if they brown around the edges. If they start charring, lower the heat and continue stirring.

    Stir in the oil and reduce the heat to medium. Continue to sauté for about 2 minutes, until the onions are tender and translucent.

  4. Meanwhile, char the Anaheim peppers:

    Set a small frying pan over medium-high heat. When it’s hot, add the remaining 2 Anaheim peppers. Do not move them until they start to char, then turn them every 2 to 3 minutes to char them all over. This will create some peppery smoke, so open your windows!

  5. Serve:

    Transfer the gholpi onto a serving platter, being careful not to break or smash the florets. Set the charred peppers on top and serve warm with barbari or lavash.

    Melt butter on medium heat in a medium sized saucepan. Add the sliced leeks and gently cook until completely softened, about 8 to 10 minutes.

    Cook the leeks:
  2. Lightly steam the cauliflower:

    While the leeks are cooking, place cauliflower florets in a steamer basket in a saucepan over an inch of water. Bring water to a boil, cover, and steam the cauliflower for 3 to 4 minutes.

    The steaming should just take the rawness out of the cauliflower, but not cook it so much that it is tender. You want the cauliflower at this stage to be al dente. Remove strainer and cauliflower from hot pan and set aside.

Cauliflower Pasta Bake

Cauliflower Pasta Bake - cauliflower recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425ºF:

    Place one rack in the top third of the oven and one rack in the lower third.

  2. Prepare the cauliflower and the onions:

    Trim away the outer leaves and cut the cauliflower into slices roughly 1/4-inch thick. Some smaller florets will fall away; this is fine.

    Spread the cauliflower slices and any florets that have fallen off on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Using your hands, rub the oil into the cauliflower, coating both sides. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

    Roughly chop the onion. On a second baking sheet or in an ovenproof skillet, toss the onions with the remaining 1 tablespoon of the oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt.

    (Roasting the cauliflower and onions on separate pans will give them more space and help them roast better.)

    Prepare the cauliflower and the onions:
  3. Roast the cauliflower and onions:

    Place the cauliflower on the lower rack of the oven and the onions on the top rack. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, until both are tender and golden. Flip the cauliflower once during roasting; stir the onions occasionally. Remove the onions from the oven if they finish before the cauliflower or start to burn.

    Let the vegetables cool slightly in their pans. Break the cauliflower into smaller florets.

    Roast the cauliflower and onions:
  4. While the vegetables roast, cook the pasta:

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente (do not overcook or the pasta will become mushy after baking). Scoop out and reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.

    Drain the pasta in a colander.

  5. Assemble the casserole:

    Return the drained pasta to the pot and immediately stir in 1/2 cup of Parmesan while the pasta is still hot. Once the cheese has melted and absorbed into the pasta a little, stir in the milk.

    Add the roasted cauliflower and onion, lemon zest, thyme and Gouda, and stir well. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if you like. If the mixture seems dry, add a little pasta cooking water, a tablespoon at a time.

    Transfer to a 3- or 4-quart baking dish.

    Assemble the casserole:
  6. Top with the crispy cracker crumbs:

    Place the crackers in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin until coarsely crumbled.

    In a bowl, mix the crushed crackers with 2 tablespoons Parmesan, the melted butter and parsley. Sprinkle this evenly over the pasta.

    Top with the crispy cracker crumbs:
  7. Bake the pasta:

    Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the pasta is hot and the top is golden.

  8. Cool briefly and serve:

    Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 5 days and reheated in a microwave or a warm oven.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Tofu: Preheat the oven to 450. Toss the tofu, olive oil, soy sauce, and cornstarch together. Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-30 minutes, stirring halfway through.

  2. Cauliflower: Run the florets through the food processor, in batches, until they reach a rice-like consistency.

  3. Fried “Rice”: Heat your olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger, peas, and carrots. When it’s really sizzling, add the cauliflower, soy sauce, and Sriracha. Saute for just a minute or two, until the cauliflower barely softens.

  4. Egg: Make a well in the middle of the hot pan. Add sesame oil and eggs, and gently pull the eggs around in the center with a spatula to make scrambled eggs. Once cooked, stir the scrambled eggs in with the fried rice.

  5. Done: Serve it up, top with more Sriracha and green onions, and live your best life.
