Cauliflower with Magical Powers Recipe
Ingredients
- White Wine Vinaigrette
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- pinch of freshly ground pepper
- Cauliflower
- Canola oil, poured to about a half an inch high in a large, straight-sided skillet or (better) a Dutch oven
- 1 large head cauliflower, cut into bite sized florets
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- Dried currants (optional)
- Toasted pine nuts (optional)
- Coarsely chopped parsley (optional)
Directions
- 1. Whisk together the vinegar, honey, and mustard. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil and whisk to emulsify. Add salt and pepper and set aside. (Or add all ingredients to a jam jar, seal tightly, hand to your kid, and have him or her shake it like crazy.)
- 2. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add cauliflower and boil for 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drop into an ice bath to stop the cooking. (Or just put it on a paper-towel lined plate, like I did.)
- 3. Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a large resealable bag. Throw in the florets, seal, and shake until thoroughly coated.
- 4. Heat the oil in you large skillet or a Dutch Oven to medium-high. Working in small batches, carefully drop florets into the oil and fry until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towel-lined serving bowl.
- 5. Remove paper towel and toss cauliflower with vinaigrette, currants, pine nuts, and parsley.
