Best Cauliflower With Lemon Sauce Recipes
FRIED WHOLE CAULIFLOWER WITH CREAMY LEMON DIPPING SAUCE
Cauliflower takes center stage in this deceptively simple dish that could be served as an entree or as a side to your favorite roasted chicken or turkey. By frying the cauliflower whole, it turns a deep golden color and becomes perfectly tender in a fraction of the time it would take if you were to roast it. We add a creamy lemon dipping sauce that adds just the right amount of zip.

Steps:
- Whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, parsley and a large pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Refrigerate while you fry the cauliflower.
- Fill a large, deep stockpot halfway with oil and heat to 375 degrees F over medium-high heat. Set a cooling rack over a baking sheet.
- Gently lower the cauliflower into the hot oil with a large spider or large slotted spoon. This might splatter so be very careful once the cauliflower is in the oil. The cauliflower might not be fully submerged, but that is okay. Cook until the cauliflower is golden brown and you can easily insert a paring knife into one of the florets, 5 to 7 minutes, carefully flipping the cauliflower halfway through the cooking time.
- Lift the cauliflower out of the hot oil using the large spider or slotted spoon and transfer to the cooling rack. Season liberally with salt. Allow the excess oil to drip away before putting the cauliflower onto a large serving platter. Serve alongside the creamy lemon sauce.

CAULIFLOWER PICCATA
Piccata sauce - that buttery, briny combination of lemon, butter and capers, silky in texture and tart in flavor - is not just for chicken or swordfish. It's also a zesty anchor for roasted vegetables. Here, cauliflower is roasted at high heat, which concentrates the flavor, adds nuttiness and encourages caramelization, before being doused with the sauce. Chickpeas make this a fuller vegetarian meal, but leave them out if you'd rather. Piccata dishes are often served with long pasta, which tangle with the tangy sauce, but this one is also great alongside rice or tender-crisp vegetables like blistered green beans. While you are at it, try this sauce with sweet butternut squash, charred broccoli, earthy roasted carrots, golden wedges of cabbage or crispy slices of tofu.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the cauliflower florets onto a sheet pan and drizzle with 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with kosher salt and black pepper, and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until the cauliflower is golden and tender. Remove from the oven, add the chickpeas, if using, and toss to combine.
- Heat a medium skillet to medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the shallot, and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute longer, stirring constantly to keep from scorching. Pour the stock into the pan and simmer until reduced by half, about 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low, then stir in the butter, capers, lemon zest and juice. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt and a few turns of black pepper.
- To serve, place the cauliflower and chickpeas, if using, on serving plates. Top with the lemon-caper sauce. Top with parsley and serve with lemon slices.
ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH TAHINI-PARSLEY SAUCE
This Middle Eastern sauce goes wonderfully with foods other than roasted cauliflower. It's traditionally served with falafel and keftes, fish, salads, deep-fried vegetables - or just with pita bread.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil, and fill a bowl with ice water. When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the cauliflower. Blanch for two minutes, and transfer to the ice water. Drain and blot dry. Transfer to a baking dish.
- Season the cauliflower with salt and pepper, and toss with the olive oil. Place in the oven, and roast for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring from time to time, until tender and lightly browned.
- Puree the garlic cloves with 1/4 teaspoon salt in a mortar and pestle. Transfer to a bowl, and whisk in the sesame tahini. Whisk in the lemon juice, beginning with the smaller amount. The mixture will stiffen up. Gradually whisk in up to 1/2 cup water, until the sauce has the consistency of thick cream (or runny yogurt). Stir in the parsley. Taste, and adjust salt and lemon juice. Serve with the cauliflower. You will have some sauce left over.
