GARLIC SAUTEED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Cook cauliflower in a large pot of salted, boiling water until barely crisp-tender; drain well.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the oil. Saute' the garlic and desired amount of red chile pepper until the garlic just begins to brown (being careful to not let it burn!).
• Add the cauliflower and cook a few minutes, stirring, until completely coated in oil.
• Sprinkle with kosher salt to taste and serve.

SAUTEED CAULIFLOWER DELIGHT

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Add cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, raisins, and white sugar to onion; cover skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower is tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Mix garlic, parsley, and red pepper flakes into cauliflower mixture; increase heat to high and saute until cauliflower is browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Drizzle lemon juice over cauliflower.

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.

THE BEST CAULIFLOWER EVER

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower florets and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the cauliflower begins to brown and soften, about 12 minutes, stirring every few minutes.
• While the cauliflower is cooking, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and saute until softened, 1 minute. Add the roasted red pepper and saute for another few minutes, until heated through. Transfer to a blender or mini-chopper and blend. Add the tofu and some salt and pepper and puree until smooth.
• Add the puree and the red pepper flakes to the cauliflower and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the breadcrumbs and sesame seeds and cook another minute. Transfer the cauliflower to a serving dish and serve.

GARLICKY SAUTEED BROCCOLI AND CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Heat the butter and 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the broccoli and cauliflower in a single layer, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, undisturbed, until the undersides are browned in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring every 1 to 2 minutes, until browned all over and crispy and tender, about 5 minutes more.
• Reduce the heat to medium and push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the garlic and remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the empty side and cook, stirring, about 30 seconds. Mix the garlic into the vegetables and add a large splash (about 3 tablespoons) of water. Squeeze in half a lemon, if using. Cook, stirring, until the juices have evaporated.

BACON CAULIFLOWER SAUTé

Steps:

• Place diced bacon in cold saute pan; turn on heat to medium-high. Cook bacon until fat is rendered and bacon is crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon from pan; drain on paper towels.
• Heat olive oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Saute cauliflower until it begins to brown, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Stir in wine, Swanson® Chicken Broth, and thyme; bring mixture to a boil. Reduce the temperature to medium and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower begins to soften and liquid has almost completely evaporated, about 12 minutes.
• Stir in the reserved bacon and adjust seasoning to taste. Serve immediately!

PAN-ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH GARLIC, PARSLEY AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Cut each cauliflower in quarters and remove the core. Cut quarters into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Chop down wider slices so all are approximately the same jagged size.
• Heat olive oil in a heavy wide skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add cauliflower and toss to coat using a metal spatula or flat wooden spoon. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Keeping heat brisk, repeatedly turn the cauliflower, letting the slices brown as they cook. Adjust heat as necessary to keep them sizzling nicely but not scorching. Continue to stir and flip the cauliflower until it is tender when pierced with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Add crushed red pepper, garlic, rosemary, parsley and lemon zest. Stir well to coat and cook 1 minute more. Check seasoning, then transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with almonds and fresno chile, if using, and serve with lemon wedges.
