Рецепт Cauliflower with Toasted Pine Nuts and Panko
Cauliflower has been making an appearance on a lot of food blogs I read. It seems as if cauliflower rice is all the rage these days. While I am yet to try cauliflower rice, reading all these delicious recipes left me with a craving for this wonderful vegetable. I remembered the delicious way my mom used to cook it when I was a kid. She would first boil it and then sauté with breadcrumbs. I decided to put my own spin on it.
If you don’t already know cauliflower is full of health benefits, it’s loaded with antioxidants and vitamins, aids in detoxification of your liver, protects against cancer and supports digestive system. To get the beautiful yellow color I added turmeric, another nutrition powerhouse.
I love this recipe for its simplicity, health benefits and ease of cooking. It makes a great addition to any meal. We had it with salmon and even Briana loved it. Any vegetable that my 5 year old loves is good in my book.
Give it a try and let me know what you think. Trust me you’re going to love it.
- 1 head cauliflower, cored and separated into florets
- ¼ tsp turmeric powder
- ¼ tsp paprika
- ¼ cup pine nuts, finely chopped (I used the nut chopper)
- 2 tbsp Panko bread crumbs
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add cauliflower florets and cook until tender. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl combine pine nuts, Panko, powdered garlic and half parsley. Mix to combine.
Preheat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add cauliflower, turmeric, paprika, salt and pepper. Stir well. Allow to brown all over, stirring occasionally to prevent from burning.
Add the pine nut mixture to the cauliflower, continue cooking for another 2 min. Check for salt, adding more if necessary.
To serve, top with the remaining fresh parsley. Enjoy.
