Cauliflower's surprising versatility: From mac and cheese to steaks
Cauliflower in the kitchen can impress even the most stubborn meat lovers. Of course, it doesn't come by itself. First, we need a proven recipe. As it happens, we have a few such gems that we want to share with you today.
In various meatless diets, cauliflower appears very often and for several reasons. Firstly, this vegetable is very healthy — it has anti-inflammatory properties, improves the functioning of blood vessels, and provides us with many vitamins and minerals. Secondly, you can create true miracles with it. Cauliflower in batter? Delicious, but experience shows this vegetable can be used in many more exciting ways.
Cauliflower in beer batter? Vegetable roast? Or maybe... steaks that will replace beef on your plate? We present three cauliflower ideas that we have personally tried and are very satisfied with. Satisfaction guaranteed!
Cauliflower like meat
You can easily prepare cauliflower in a style that will appeal even to the most discerning gourmets. We suggest preparing a batter that makes this vegetable strikingly similar to... meat. The secret lies in a particular liquid: beer. Regular breadcrumbs with butter can't compare to this recipe.
Cauliflower from the oven
We completely understand the desire not to use a frying pan while cooking dinner. The oven — and the dishes we prepare in it — is a proven way to reduce the mess in the kitchen while allowing for the preparation of genuinely delicious mixtures. One of them is... cauliflower mac and cheese. Surprised? No need. Divide the cauliflower into florets, pour milk, grated cheese, and butter over it, and then enjoy a delicious casserole your family will love.
Cauliflower steaks
A recipe from Ewa Wachowicz inspires the last suggestion. It's a simple signal that you don't need to worry about the result, right? The culinary master showed that steaks don't have to be made from beef tenderloin, as their alternative version — from cauliflower — tastes just as good. Of course, the details are essential. Ewa Wachowicz provided a precise list of needed spices. You'll find curry, turmeric, cumin, salt, pepper, and two types of paprika. It's worth checking out; the whole recipe can be found here. Good luck!
