Hi!

I wanted to share with you this amazing recipe I found on PANNA, the video cooking magazine.

Caramelized Cauliflower with Hazelnuts, Parmesan and Sage
by Anita Lo

1 Head - Cauliflower
3 T. - Unsalted Butter
1 T. - Sugar
1/2 tsp. - Lemon Juice, or more to taste
Salt
Freshly Ground Black Pepper
3 Leaves, sliced - Sage
1 T. - Salted and Roasted Hazelnuts, roughly chopped
Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese

STEP 1
Remove the green outer leaves and cut the cauliflower into 1/2-inch (1.25cm) thick slices to create cross sections. Remove any parts of the fibrous core of the cauliflower that remains.

STEP 2
Transfer the slices to a large, straight-sided skillet and cover with cold water halfway up the sides of the cauliflower, about 1/4-inch (6mm) deep. Add the butter, sugar, lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Cook over high heat until the water evaporates and the cauliflower is golden brown on one side, 10 to 12 minutes. After the cauliflower begins to caramelize, reduce the heat to low.

STEP 3
Pick and slice the sage leaves.

Once the cauliflower is deeply browned and the sugar has caramelized, rotate the slices to promote even browning. After a few moments, flip the cauliflower to cook the other side, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with sage, hazelnuts and freshly grated parmesan cheese.

Seagrass, I used Granny Smith apples, kiwi, grapes and peaches. Lars--I actually found some good ruby red grapefruit up here and considered adding it, but I decided to keep it and eat it alone. Besides, I ended up not having time to peel the grapefruit--the salad was assembled over the course of six hours as the baby kept needing me. Which is why fruit salad was what I contributed to the holiday meal this year--it was okay if I was constantly interrupted during the preparation. ~Amanda

Yaya, sounds wonderful. May I take the liberty of suggesting an alternative that dispenses entirely with the butter and sugar and caramelizes like heaven without butter or sugar? Stick the cauliflower on a roasting pan on high heat, like 450 in the oven with either olive oil or cooking spray, for 15-20minutes and another 10 minutes or so on broil at the same temperature. Some onions to add sweetness to the caramelizing process. And take it out, sprinkle seasoning borrowed from any cuisine that catches your fancy, spray again, and stick it back in the oven for another 10 minutes or so on broil. Pure heaven! I've had friends, Southern belles, who would never dream of anything like loud sneezing, who are reduced to licking their plates. I hope you don't mind sharing my recipe.

Mmmm...that video was very helpful. I couldn't picture slicing it that way. Can't wait to try it. I love cauliflower anywhere from raw to well done and any method of cooking. This post was edited by breenthumb on Sun, Apr 28, 13 at 18:10

Here is another recipe I have used for many years; it always gets rave reviews. To my way of thinking, this is one of those recipes that tastes like you have spent hours preparing the dish from scratch. Toasted Almond Pudding 1 stick margarine -- melted and cooled 1 cup flour 7 ounce can coconut 1 cup blanched-slivered almonds 1/4 cup brown sugar 2 3.4 oz boxes French vanilla instant pudding 2 cups milk 8 ounce tub Cool WhipÂ® Mix margarine, coconut, flour, brown sugar, and almonds together. Put in a large jelly roll pan or a large cookie sheet with very shallow sides. Bake at 325 degrees, stirring frequently, until mixture is brown. Cool and reserve some for topping. Mix together vanilla pudding, milk, and cool whip; chill. Spread toasted almond/coconut mixture evenly in bottom of 9 X 13 glass dish. With a light touch spread the pudding mixture evenly over the almond/coconut mixture. Sprinkle the top with reserved almond/coconut mixture. Refrigerate. NOTE: I have used this recipe for many years and have learned that browning the coconut mixture at 325 degrees is just too hot of an oven. I heat the oven to 325, then turn it down to 300 degrees. You do have to watch and stir very frequently.
