Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

One 12-ounce bag frozen cauliflower fries
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons za'atar
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup fresh parsley, leaves torn with your hands
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
1/4 cup chopped kalamata olives
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons chopped pickled pepperoncini
1 medium cucumber, finely diced
1/3 cup crumbled feta
1 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
1/2 cup fresh mint, chopped
3 tablespoons chopped capers
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
Zest of 1 lemon plus juice of up to 2 lemons
Hot sauce, to taste
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • For the loaded fries: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Put a baking sheet in the oven for 10 minutes to heat up.
  • Toss the frozen cauliflower fries with 1 tablespoon of the za'atar and season with salt and pepper. Place on the hot baking sheet and bake until crispy and hot, 13 to 15 minutes depending on your oven.
  • While the fries are cooking, in a medium bowl, combine the parsley, onion, olives, olive oil, pepperoncini, cucumber and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons za'atar. Season with pepper (the olives are salty).
  • For the yogurt sauce: Combine the yogurt, mint, capers, coriander, lemon zest and juice and some hot sauce in a small mixing bowl. You may add more or less lemon juice depending on how thick your yogurt is, or how tart you would like your sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To finish, spread the yogurt sauce on the bottom of a plate. Place the crispy fries on top of the sauce. Top with the cucumber-olive salad and finish with the crumbled feta.

CAULIFLOWER THAT TASTES LIKE FRENCH FRIES



Cauliflower That Tastes Like French Fries image

I first came across this on another site, where there were 13 or more pages of raving about how the cauliflower tastes just like french fries. What can I say, I had to introduce it to Zaar! I tried it for the first time shortly after posting and while it is very good, I'm not sure it tasted exactly like french fries. I think the key may be in how much salt you add and how brown you let the cauliflower get. I will be testing this more in future!

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 head cauliflower
1/4 cup olive oil
sea salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F
  • Trim and wash the cauliflower and then cut it into slices about 1/4 inch thick.
  • There will be lots of small pieces and several large lacy slices.
  • In a large bowl, mix the cauliflower with the oil, salt and pepper.
  • Spread the cauliflower evenly onto baking trays and put in the oven.
  • Stir after about 10 minutes to get the pieces on the edge of the pan into the middle and vice versa.
  • Stir again every 5-10 minutes until it is done, after about 20 minutes.
  • How much you brown the cauliflower is up to you.
