Sautéing these sturdy vegetables over medium-high heat caramelizes their natural sugars, developing rich color and flavor. For additional pizzazz, toss and coat with various seasonings at the end, such as fresh lemon juice and herbs, or a tablespoon of butter and minced garlic.

Ingredients

2 tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
4 to 5 cups cauliflower florets or slices, with some of the stem intact
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat a pan over medium-high heat, then add the oil and heat for 30 more seconds.
Add the cauliflower, taking care not to crowd the pan. Give the pan a quick shake to prevent sticking, then allow the cauliflower to sit still for a few minutes until brown on one side, then turn to brown other side.

Sautéed Brussels Sprouts With Coconut

This dish is great alongside grilled meats or fish. Freshly grated coconut adds rich flavor, but if you don’t have fresh coconut, look for frozen grated coconut at Indian or health-food markets to use instead. If you have only dried coconut, soak it overnight in 1/4 cup coconut water.
