Tuscan Grilled Cauliflower Recipes

TUSCAN GRILLED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, lemon slices, rosemary, brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a small bowl. Whisk until the brown sugar fully dissolves. Then arrange the cauliflower wedges in a 9x13-inch baking dish and pour the marinade over top. Cover and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or in the refrigerator for 30-90 minutes. Rotate the wedges 1-2 times while marinating to ensure even coverage.
• When approaching grill time, preheat your outdoor grill to high heat (500-550°) and generously coat the grates with vegetable oil or nonstick spray.
• Place the marinated cauliflower wedges directly on the hot grill (cut side down) and reserve the marinade in the baking dish. Close the lid and let the wedges cook undisturbed on one side for 6-7 minutes or until they develop dark grill marks. Then flip and do the same on the other cut side (another 6-7 minutes). When done, return the wedges to the baking dish with the marinade.
• Arrange the grilled cauliflower wedges on a large serving plate, sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and spoon the reserved marinade and lemon slices over top. Finish with a generous sprinkling of grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese. Serve warm or at room temperature.

ITALIAN-SEASONED CAULIFLOWER BITES IN FOIL

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium heat, about 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Spread out aluminum foil on a clean work surface, fold in half, and lightly grease one side with cooking spray. Scatter cauliflower pieces onto the foil and dot with butter. Sprinkle with garlic and Italian seasoning. Bring the sides of the foil up and fold twice. Roll the ends towards the centre and press down to seal.
• Grill, turning occasionally, for 10 minutes.

TUSCAN-STYLE CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
• Add the garlic and cook until softened and golden, then add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, until they begin to break down, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the cauliflower and boiling water, lower the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender, about 30 minutes.
• Season the cauliflower to taste with salt and pepper and scatter the parsley on top.
