Cauliflower puree [General]
2012 Apr 27
thanks for the recipe. I am going to try it this week end.
Here is a recipe from food and wine for roasted cauliflower which was quite good.
this was for a large number of people so I scaled it back. This also tasted good at room temp. (maybe just my tastes)
1 head cauliflower, halved, cored cut into 1" florets
1/4 c safflower oil (I don't think I used this much)
1 tsp gr cumin
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
sea salt
1/4 c pine nuts (left out due to guest allergy)
2 tsp cilantro chopped (left out because I don't like it)
1 tsp mint chopped
Preheat oven to 425'F
In small bowl combine oil, cumin, turmeric, red pepper and 1/4 tsp salt
On lg rimmed baking sheet,spread the cauliflower in an even layer.
drizzle cauliflower with spiced oil to coat.
season with salt.
bake for about 1 hour or until browned and tender;
turn the baking sheet 1/2 way through cooking.
meanwhile in pie plate bake pine nuts for about 1 minute, until toasted.
let cool
transfer cauliflower to a large serving bowl.
sprinkle with pine nuts, cilantro and mint.
make ahead:
cauliflower can be roasted then refrigerated over night. reheat before combining with nuts and herbs.

Anyone got any other suggestions? I started out doing it as a healthy alternative to mashed potatoes but the mascarpone and bacon kind of knackers that.
