Whole Roasted Cauliflower With Black Garlic Crumble And Parsley Anchovy Butter Recipes

WHOLE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH BLACK-GARLIC CRUMBLE AND PARSLEY-ANCHOVY BUTTER

Steps:

• Make the black-garlic crumble: place the butter, powdered milk and black garlic cloves in a medium saucepan over low heat and cook until the powdered milk is golden brown and nutty, 20 minutes. Strain the butter from the solids and reserve. Dry the solids on paper towels. Place the solids and garlic cloves in a food processor and pulse to combine until the garlic is evenly distributed. Dry on paper towels.
• Prepare the parsley-anchovy butter: Heat half the reserved brown butter with the fresh butter and mash in the anchovies. Season with salt, zest and juice. Fold in the parsley. Refrigerate until moldable. Using plastic wrap, form the butter into a log. Chill.
• Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Remove the leaves from the cauliflower, leaving 1 inch of stem intact. Place a ring mold or cookie cutter around the stem to keep the cauliflower upright. Place the cauliflower, oil and butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Season the cauliflower with salt. With a large spoon, continually pour the hot oil-butter mixture over the cauliflower, lowering the heat to medium-low if the fat begins to smoke. After about 20 minutes, once the outside is golden brown, place the pan in the oven and bake until just tender in the middle, 15 to 20 minutes. Keep warm.
• To serve: cut the warm cauliflower into 4 sections. Cut the butter log into 1/4-inch disks and place three slices on each section of cauliflower. Sprinkle with black-garlic crumble.

GARLIC WHOLE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Trim the cauliflower: Cut the stem flush with the bottom. Cut a few slits into the core extending into the thick branches of the cauliflower (keep the florets intact). Put 3 thyme sprigs, the smashed garlic, bay leaves, coriander seeds and peppercorns on a square of cheesecloth and tie into a bundle. Combine 12 cups water, the celery, shallot, lemon zest, wine, sugar, 1/3 cup salt and the cheesecloth bundle in a pot large enough to submerge the cauliflower. Bring to a boil, whisking to dissolve the salt and sugar. Carefully add the cauliflower core-side down and cook until there is a slight resistance when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes. (It's OK if the top of the cauliflower pops up during cooking.) Remove the cauliflower to a baking sheet.
• Meanwhile, make the garlic oil: Combine the remaining 3 thyme sprigs, the sliced garlic, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the garlic starts browning, 3 to 5 minutes. Discard the thyme. Brush the cauliflower with half of the oil, leaving the sliced garlic behind.
• Roast the cauliflower until browned and tender, 30 to 40 minutes, brushing halfway through with the remaining garlic oil; reserve 1 teaspoon garlic oil and the sliced garlic.
• Transfer the cauliflower to a cutting board or platter using a spatula. Add the parsley to the reserved garlic oil and spoon over the cauliflower. Cut into wedges.

WHOLE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH A PARSLEY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400f (200c). Grab a cooking vessel large enough to hold the cauliflower. Remove any manky-looking leaves and cut the stem off to help balance the vegetable. Place cauliflower in vessel and smother with olive oil (use your hands to massage it all over) followed by a generous grinding of sea salt and black pepper. Move to oven and roast 60 minutes or longer depending on how soft you like it. Allow the cauliflower to rest a few minutes before serving.
• While the cauliflower is roasting, make the sauce. In a small bowl combine all ingredients except olive oil. Slowly add olive oil while stirring until emulsified. Cut chunks of the cauliflower and distribute among plates. Drizzle with sauce and serve.

WHOLE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH ANCHOVY SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C/gas 6. Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and set aside to use later. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and blanch the cauliflower for 4-5 mins. Drain well.
• Put the cauliflower in a roasting tin and drizzle all over with olive oil. Season well and roast for 40-50 mins until tender and golden.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Drizzle a little oil in a pan and gently fry the shallots for 10 mins until softened. Add half the garlic and the chilli flakes and cook for a minute more. Add the anchovies and let them dissolve, then add the tomatoes and stock.
• Season and cook for 10-15 mins until the tomatoes have broken down. Add the cream and bubble for another minute.
• Heat the butter in a separate pan with the rest of the garlic and fry the cauliflower leaves with plenty of seasoning. Serve the cauliflower on the buttery leaves, with the anchovy sauce spooned over the top.

Repeat push and scrape movements back over garlic and within seconds you'll see how the chopped garlic quickly turns into a paste. Scrape up with the knife and add to the dressing. Enjoy!
