Best Steamed Cauliflower In The Buff Recipes

LEMON HERB STEAMED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Chop the cauliflower into florets.
• Place 1 1/2 cups water into a saucepan or pot. If using a steamer basket without a handle, add it to the pot now: the water surface should be right under the basket. Bring the water to a boil.
• Once boiling, add the cauliflower (in the steamer basket, if it has a handle). Steam with the lid on 10 to 12 minutes until just tender, testing with a fork to assess whether it's done.
• Carefully remove the cauliflower to a bowl, draining any excess liquid. Toss with the remaining ingredients and serve. (Store leftovers refrigerated.)

• Cover and cook over medium to low heat until a skewer easily pierces the cauliflower and the center is soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Add a couple of tablespoons of water during cooking to avoid burning.

• Place a steamer basket in a pot filled with water to just below basket. Bring to a boil, then place cauliflower in basket; cover and steam 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low; steam until cauliflower is fork-tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until browned, about 9 minutes. Remove from heat; swirl in paprika. Pour half of brown butter over cauliflower; sprinkle with half of panko mixture. Cut cauliflower into chunks with a paring knife. Pour remaining brown butter over top; sprinkle with remaining panko mixture. Serve.
