Honey-garlic cauliflower

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 cup panko breadcrumbs

3 large eggs, beaten

1 head cauliflower, chopped into bite-size florets

2/3 cup honey

2/3 cup soy sauce

4 garlic cloves, minced

Juice of 2 limes

2 tbsp. sriracha

1/2 cup water

4 tsp. corn starch

1/4 cup sliced scallions

Steps

1- Set an oversized baking sheet in foil and preheat the oven to 204° C. Then mix the flour and cauliflower together in a big bowl. Add salt and pepper for seasoning, then toss to coat completely. Establish a cleaning station by combining panko breadcrumbs in one bowl and whisking eggs with two tablespoons of water in another bowl. Coat the cauliflower completely with panko after dipping it in beaten eggs. Transfer to a baking sheet that has been prepared, then liberally salt and pepper to taste. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until crispy and golden.

2- Prepare the sauce. Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Put aside. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the soy sauce, honey, garlic, lime juice, and Sriracha. Lower the heat and stir in the cornstarch mixture after the mixture reaches a boiling point. Return to a simmer and cook for an additional two minutes, or until the sauce thickens.

3- Coat the cooked cauliflower equally with sauce by tossing it in it. When the cauliflower is back on the baking pan, broil it for two minutes.

4- Add scallions as a garnish and serve right away.

Cauliflower rice

Ingredients

1 medium head of cauliflower

1 teaspoon olive oil

1/2 cup chopped scallions

Juice of 1/2 lime

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps

1- Ensure that the cauliflower is completely dry. Cut the cauliflower into chunks. The cores can be kept, but the leaves can be thrown away or saved for later. To make the cauliflower pieces into rice-like texture, place them in a food processor and pulse. Avoid overprocessing to prevent mushy texture.

2- To remove the raw bite from your cauliflower, boil and season it if you want to serve it as an appetizer or swap it out for plain rice. One teaspoon of olive oil should be heated over medium heat in a big skillet. Add the cauliflower and scallions, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until heated through. To help cut through any bitterness in the raw cauliflower, season with salt, pepper, and a good squeeze of lime juice.

Baked cauliflower tots

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 small onion, finely chopped

2 small heads cauliflower

1 cup almond meal

2 large eggs, separated

Kosher salt

2 cups crispy rice cereal

Cooking spray

Dipping sauces, such as ketchup, grainy mustard, pesto or red-pepper hummus, for serving

Steps

1- Set an oven rack to the highest position and preheat the oven to 220 degrees C. Place a cooling rack over a baking sheet.

2- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and simmer for approximately 5 minutes, turning often, until they are tender and golden. Take off the heat and leave in the skillet to cool.

3- Take off the cauliflower heads' outer leaves and cores. Cut off the majority of the smaller stems that remain after separating the heads into big florets. Process the florets in the food processor in two batches until they are virtually a paste—very finely chopped—and then add the paste to a large bowl. The food processor should be cleaned.

4- Place the cauliflower in the center of the two layers of cheesecloth. After extracting any liquid, return the cauliflower to the bowl. Squeeze the mixture to ensure it holds together after adding the browned onion, almond meal, egg whites, and two tablespoons of salt. Evenly portion the dough into tablespoon-sized balls, form each ball into a squared tot shape, and arrange on a baking sheet.

5- In a small dish, transfer the rice cereal that has been finely processed in the food processor. In a larger dish, whisk the egg yolks with 1/4 cup water. Arrange the tots, ground cereal, egg wash, and baking sheet with a rack in a line on your work area. After dipping the tots in the egg wash and letting any excess drip off, completely coat them with cereal and arrange them on the rack. Apply the cooking spray evenly over each tot, rotating them as necessary. 

6- For 15 to 20 minutes, or until the outside is golden brown and the center is heated, bake the tots on the baking sheet that has been greased. After allowing it to cool for a short while, move it to a serving platter. With the preferred dipping sauces, serve.
