This flavor-packed plant-forward recipe is another winner for brassica lovers. Instead of breaking the white head into florets or boiling and mashing it like you would potatoes, I sliced the cauliflower into thick "steaks." Then, after seasoning the slabs with salt, pepper and smoked paprika, I fried it in butter with minced garlic until it was crispy on both sides. The steaks then went into a hot oven and were slow-roasted until they were tender enough to be pierced with a fork.
Steak is one of life's finer treats, and when you serve up a perfectly seared ribeye or sirloin steak, it will always be the star of the show. However, this highly coveted meaty meal option doesn't always have to be enjoyed as the main event; with just a little bit of knife work, you can transform steak into a mouthwatering starter or hors d'oeuvres.
Mostly popular in Europe (particularly France), it's not a common ingredient in the U.S. But if you're a fan of tart, citrusy flavors, you'll want to get to know this one. What it can do for you is right there in its nickname - Lemonade Leaf. Sorrel contains a lot of sour-tasting oxalic acid, and when you cook your steak together with a few leaves, your steak will also gain the citrusy flavor that makes this herb stand out.
Why limit yourself to boring bottled dressings when your pantry holds the secret to converting any sauce, homemade or store-bought, into a delicious salad dressing? Some of the most versatile sauces of the culinary world work double duty as salad dressings; all you need is a dash of oil and acid. The magic of sauce-to-salad dressing conversions lies in their ease.
