Sauteed Cauliflower And Apples With Pecans Recipes

SAUTEED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Remove the base of the stem of the cauliflower with a sharp knife.
• From the top down, cut the cauliflower into 1/4 inches slices. (Some of the slices will crumble, but those still taste good, they just don't look as pretty.).
• Heat 2 Table olive oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick frying pan.
• Add one batch of the cauliflower (in a single layer) and cook until brown on the first side. Use a spachula to flip over the cauliflower.
• Fry the cauliflower until brown on the second side, adding more olive oil if needed.
• At this time, I usually add 2-3 Table. water, turn over the cauliflower again, cover and cook for several more minutes.
• Repeat on the second side if the cauliflower is not quite tender. The cauliflower tastes best if it has gotten very brown.
• Sprinkle with salt.
• Remove the first batch, keeping warm, and doing a second and third batch (if you still have cauliflower to cook) until all of the cauliflower has been sauteed.

SAUTéED CAULIFLOWER WITH APPLES AND SHERRY

Steps:

• Pull off leaves from cauliflower, and trim tough stem end away. With sharp paring knife separate cauliflower into florets, leaving 1-inch stem at base of each floret. Cut pieces in two lengthwise and lay flat side down. Cut each piece lengthwise in two, and repeat until you have 2-inch-long carved floret and stem pieces of approximately equal thickness (about 1/2-inch) top to bottom. There should be 16 ounces, about 7 cups of cauliflower. Set aside.
• Melt butter over medium-low heat in large skillet until brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to small bowl and set aside.
• Toss cauliflower, salt and 5 tablespoons water in empty skillet, cover, and set over high heat. Cook until cauliflower is tender, shaking pan and stirring once, 5 minutes. Uncover skillet (water should be gone), and toss. Drizzle with reserved butter. Stir in shallots and apples, and cook, stirring until tender, about 2 minutes. Add sherry and pepper, and toss to combine. Transfer to warm serving platter and sprinkle nutmeg over top.
