Recipe Box # 20 - Roasted Cauliflower with Indian Barbecue Sauce


I woke up this morning, with good intentions, to accomplish all that was needed.  I had my mental list ready and clear, in my head.  One of the items was to make soup, for dinner, to serve with leftovers.  Instead, I marked sets of papers, for my class, wrote lesson plans, wrote a letter to my "class parents"and made up homework sheets and quizzes as well as creating a vocabulary list, for the week.  By the time, I finished, I had not changed the linen, made soup or did the wash.  All are waiting for me, at this time, except for the soup, which may be made on another day.

After work, I did not feel like chopping and blending so I looked through my file of recipes that I want to make, now or in the future and came across this cauliflower dish.  The idea of a barbecue sauce intrigued me and my gut told me we would hate it or love it.  Fortunately, we loved it.

I had no fresh cauliflower so I used frozen.  I cut the roasting down a few minutes since hubby came home a few minutes early, and we were both hungry.  The bottom line is that we both enjoyed this and would be glad to have it, again.

Roasted Cauliflower with Indian Barbecue Sauce Bon Appétit | September 2007  (6 servings)  This was adapted from Epicurious where the original recipe is posted.

Ingredients: 1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 bag of cauliflower, cut into 1-inch florets 
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 cup tomato paste
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoons sugar

Method:

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Toss cauliflower and 2 tablespoons oil in large bowl. Transfer to medium rimmed baking sheet. Roast until very tender, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes. (I ended up roasting it for 38 minutes.
 
Add ginger and garlic to cauliflower followed by the tomato paste, soy sauce, sugar, and  cumin. Bring to boil, whisking to blend. Reduce heat to very low; simmer barbecue sauce 1 minute to blend flavors, whisking constantly.

Remove cauliflower from oven; transfer to large bowl. Toss with enough barbecue sauce to coat; season to taste with salt and pepper. 

Eat and enjoy.

    Thanks for the party, Chaya. We love roasted cauliflower here, but I always make it the same way. Every single time. Olive oil, garlic, rosemary. This BBQ sauce looks like a tasty way to shake things up.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
