Cauliflower With Tarator Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Toast nuts in a shallow baking pan in a 350°F oven until golden, 5 to 10 minutes, before using in recipe.
  • Tarator sauce:
  • Soak bread in a bowl of water 30 seconds, then squeeze dry and set aside.
  • Drop garlic into a food processor with motor running, then drop in nuts and process until finely ground.
  • Add bread and 3 tablespoons lemon juice and process until smooth.
  • With motor still running, add oil in a slow, steady stream until incorporated.
  • Transfer to a bowl, then stir in salt and pepper and additional lemon juice to taste.
  • Cook cauliflower:
  • Remove any leaves from cauliflower, leaving core intact.
  • Cut cauliflower into ½-inch-thick slices as if it were a loaf of bread, then cut slices into 2-inch pieces (some florets will separate).
  • Bring a 4- to 5-quart saucepan of water to a boil, add cauliflower, then reduce heat and simmer until the cauliflower is just tender, 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Drain cauliflower well in a colander and pat dry.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté half of cauliflower, turning over occasionally, until very well browned on both sides, about 8 minutes total.
  • Transfer to a platter with a slotted spoon and season with salt and pepper.
  • Wipe out skillet, then sauté remaining cauliflower in remaining 2 tablespoons oil in same manner, transferring to platter.
  • Serve cauliflower, warm or at room temperature, with sauce and celery leaves (if using).
