Steamed Cauliflower with Croutons
Main Dishes • Italian
Description
I want to add that you can certainly just boil the cauliflower, but steamed vegetables are incomparable to boiled ones. They are much tastier, sweeter, and undoubtedly healthier. I use an authentic Chinese bamboo steamer. I make the croutons from good ciabatta, which I dry out and chop in a food processor. I keep them in the freezer and use them as needed, which is very rarely and mainly for cauliflower. I don't bread anything else. It turns out very crunchy and delicious.
Ingredients
- Breadcrumbs 5 oz
- Cauliflower 1 head
- Garlic 2 cloves
- Salt to taste
- Ground Black Pepper to taste
- Vegetable Oil 0 fl oz
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Cut the cauliflower into large florets (that's how I like it anyway) and place it in the steamer.
Step 2
Steam until al dente for about 10–15 minutes (depending on the size of the pieces).
Step 3
While it cooks, heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan, add your favorite breadcrumbs (see note) and fry until golden brown.
Step 4
When they are almost ready, add 1–2 cloves of minced garlic, season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5
Sprinkle the cauliflower with the croutons and serve (more croutons, please!).
