Polish-Style Cauliflower - Kalafior Po Polsku

Polish-Style Cauliflower

© 2008 Barbara Rolek

To be truly cooked a la Polonaise, a French expression for "in the Polish style," this kalafior po polsku should be garnished with chopped hard-cooked eggs, breadcrumbs, parsley and butter.

Here I've omitted the eggs and added chopped almonds and dill.

Makes 6 servings

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 8 minutes

Total Time: 13 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 large head cauliflower, washed and trimmed
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 tablespoons finely chopped almonds
  • 4 tablespoons breadcrumbs
  • Chopped parsley and dill for garnish

Preparation:

  1. Place cauliflower, right side up, in a microwaveable dish with a lid. Add 1/4 cup water. Cover and microwave on high 8 minutes. Let cauliflower sit, covered, in microwave while you prepare the garnish.

  2. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, melt butter and add almonds, cooking slowly to brown. Stir in breadcrumbs and cook about 1 minute or until crisp.

  3. Remove cooked cauliflower from cooking dish, drain quickly, and place on serving plate. Spoon buttered breadcrumbs over and spinkle with chopped parsley and dill.
