Cauliflower And Watercress Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Arrange cauliflower, watercress, and walnuts in a serving dish.
• Whisk together remaining ingredients and pour over salad.
• Serve.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. In a bowl, toss together the cauliflower, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast, tossing occasionally, until tender and dark golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar with the remaining salt and pepper, and then whisk in the remaining oil.
• In a salad bowl, toss the watercress, cheese, nuts and warm cauliflower. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss until well combined.

Steps:

• Toss cauliflower with 2 tablespoons oil in a shallow baking pan and season with salt. Roast in middle of oven, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower is tender and begins to brown, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook nuts in remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a small skillet over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and a shade darker, about 5 minutes. Cool slightly in skillet.
• Stir together lemon juice and mustard in a large bowl. Add nuts with any oil from skillet, roasted cauliflower, watercress, radicchio, and salt and pepper to taste, then toss to coat.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan and sear the cauliflower steaks for 3-4 mins on each side until nicely browned. Lift onto kitchen paper, then put in the fridge to keep cool. Can be done up to two days ahead.
• To make the rarebit, melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in the flour to make a sandy paste. Add the milk a little at a time to make a thick white sauce. Bubble gently, stirring often for a couple of mins, then stir in the cheese, cayenne, mustard and Worcestershire sauce and stir until the cheese has melted into a smooth, rich sauce. Remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool slightly, then beat in the yolks and season. Transfer to an airtight container and keep in the fridge if not using straight away. Can be made up to two days ahead.
• Before you assemble, take the cheesy rarebit mix out of the fridge at least an hour before you need it. Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Lay the cauliflower on a baking sheet, then divide and spread or press on the rarebit mix until completely covered. Bake in the oven for 12-15 mins, then finish under a hot grill until bubbling and golden. Transfer the cauliflower rarebits to two plates and serve with a spoonful of chutney and a generous handful of watercress salad. Perfect with a pint of beer.
