Best Sautéed Cauliflower With Apples And Sherry Recipes

SAUTéED CAULIFLOWER WITH APPLES AND SHERRY

Steps:

• Pull off leaves from cauliflower, and trim tough stem end away. With sharp paring knife separate cauliflower into florets, leaving 1-inch stem at base of each floret. Cut pieces in two lengthwise and lay flat side down. Cut each piece lengthwise in two, and repeat until you have 2-inch-long carved floret and stem pieces of approximately equal thickness (about 1/2-inch) top to bottom. There should be 16 ounces, about 7 cups of cauliflower. Set aside.
• Melt butter over medium-low heat in large skillet until brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to small bowl and set aside.
• Toss cauliflower, salt and 5 tablespoons water in empty skillet, cover, and set over high heat. Cook until cauliflower is tender, shaking pan and stirring once, 5 minutes. Uncover skillet (water should be gone), and toss. Drizzle with reserved butter. Stir in shallots and apples, and cook, stirring until tender, about 2 minutes. Add sherry and pepper, and toss to combine. Transfer to warm serving platter and sprinkle nutmeg over top.

CRUNCHY CAULIFLOWER AND TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper together in a bowl until dressing is smooth.
• Mix cauliflower, red onion, parsley, and garlic together in a large bowl. Drizzle dressing over cauliflower mixture; toss to coat. Gently fold tomatoes into salad. Chill salad in refrigerator up to 3 hours before serving.

SAUTEED CHICKEN WITH PARSNIP, APPLE, AND SHERRY PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add parsnip; sauté until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Add apple and chopped thyme; cook until parsnip and apple are tender, about 6 minutes. Transfer parsnip mixture to plate.
• Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 chicken breasts; sauté until cooked through and golden, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to platter; tent with foil to keep warm. Repeat with remaining 2 chicken breasts.
• Add Sherry to same skillet. Stir over medium-high heat, scraping up browned bits. Add parsnip mixture and cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Spoon over chicken; garnish with thyme sprigs.

SAUTEED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Remove the base of the stem of the cauliflower with a sharp knife.
• From the top down, cut the cauliflower into 1/4 inches slices. (Some of the slices will crumble, but those still taste good, they just don't look as pretty.).
• Heat 2 Table olive oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick frying pan.
• Add one batch of the cauliflower (in a single layer) and cook until brown on the first side. Use a spachula to flip over the cauliflower.
• Fry the cauliflower until brown on the second side, adding more olive oil if needed.
• At this time, I usually add 2-3 Table. water, turn over the cauliflower again, cover and cook for several more minutes.
• Repeat on the second side if the cauliflower is not quite tender. The cauliflower tastes best if it has gotten very brown.
• Sprinkle with salt.
• Remove the first batch, keeping warm, and doing a second and third batch (if you still have cauliflower to cook) until all of the cauliflower has been sauteed.

SAUTEED CAULIFLOWER AND APPLES WITH PECANS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-heat heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 3-4 minutes.
• Add the cauliflower, salt, and pepper and cook, tossing occasionally, until golden, 4-6 minutes.
• Add the apple, thyme and water.
• Cover and cook until cauliflower is tender, 8-10 minutes.
• Stir in butter and sprinkle with pecans.

SAUTEED CAULIFLOWER DELIGHT

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Add cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, raisins, and white sugar to onion; cover skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower is tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Mix garlic, parsley, and red pepper flakes into cauliflower mixture; increase heat to high and saute until cauliflower is browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Drizzle lemon juice over cauliflower.

CAULIFLOWER WITH OYSTER MUSHROOMS AND SHERRY

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the milk, salt and 2 quarts water; bring to a simmer. Blanch the florets until barely tender, about 2 minutes; the cauliflower should still have a little crispness and bite. Drain well and transfer to a baking sheet to cool.
• In a large (14-inch) sauté pan, heat 3 tablespoons of the canola oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms to the pan in a single layer, allowing them to become browned and crisped on both sides, stirring as needed, about 10 minutes. Season lightly with sea salt. Add the shallots and thyme, and, if needed, more canola oil. Sauté until the shallots are tender, about 2 minutes.
• Add the blanched cauliflower florets to the pan and mix well. Add the sherry, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon and stirring until reduced to one quarter of the original amount. Add the cream and allow it to reduce to a thickened sauce that coats the cauliflower. Turn off the heat, and stir in the chilled butter, a few cubes at a time, to create a rich, velvety emulsion.
• Transfer to a warmed serving dish and garnish with thyme sprigs. Serve as soon as possible, while still hot.
