Whole Cauliflower with Turmeric Sauce


http://schneiderchen.de | © 2014 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




This is an easy but very tasty cauliflower recipe. The fun presentation of a whole cauliflower, first blanched in vegetable stock, then dressed with a creamy tangy turmeric sauce, which can be made ahead of time, and topped with some chopped greens.

  • 1 head Cauliflower, ca 750 grams
  • Vegetable broth to boil the cauliflower
  • 20 g Butter
  • 2 tsp White spelt flour
  • 2 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 125 ml Warm vegetable broth
  • 125 ml Milk at room-temperature
  • 1 tsp Lemon juice
  • Pinch of sugar
  • Salt and peppercorn to taste
  • 1 tbsp Chopped rock leaves or parsley
  1. Clean and wash the cauliflower, discarding the leaves, and remove about 1 inch of the hard core, making sure the florets don't fall off. Bring a large pot of vegetable broth to a boil. Add in the whole cauliflower and cook, covered, until cauliflower is tender, but not mushy, about 12 minutes.
  2. Melt butter over low heat in a medium-sized saucepan. Sprinkle in the flour and turmeric powder. Cook for a couple of minutes. Add in the warm vegetable stock and milk. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened. Season with lemon juice, pinch of sugar, salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Put the whole cauliflower on a warm serving platter. Spoon the sauce over the top and sprinkle with the chopped greens. Serve immediately.

    Cauliflower is one of my favourite veg because you can do so much with it. But since I have been turning it into mash and rice and all sorts I have forgotten about just eating it plain. Love this recipe with all that healthy tumeric! Thanks for the inspiration.

  67. Such a fun recipe and fun photos! I did a whole cauliflower once too, a few posts back on my blog you might still be able to see it. I roasted it instead so the outside got all caramelised and brown and yummy, but I would love to try your version too! Or even combine the two- roast cauliflower with that gorgeous golden turmeric sauce you have! Yum!

    ReplyDelete
  68. I love how cauliflower is such a blank pallet and you have turned it into a lovely one Angie!

    Have a wonderful week Angie :D

    ReplyDelete
  98. I have tried an Indian dish where the cauliflower is served whole too (think the dish is called Cauliflower MOussaka or something?) and it was so delicious! At that time, I wondered if the entire cauliflower was steamed-roasted in the oven but I think cooking it in a broth sounds good too esp with turmeric sauce.

    ReplyDelete
  99. You have used two foods that I've been trying to incorporate into my diet more often. The contrast between the sauce and snowy white cauliflower is wonderful.

    ReplyDelete
  100. I bet the sauce goes really well with the cauliflower. Looks cheerful and yummy.

    ReplyDelete
  101. so beautiful! I love cauliflower with turmeric. I usually roast the florets instead. I gotta try this one when I have guest over. This looks so elegant and would make a wonderful centerpiece.
