- Paprika or powdered pimentón
- Salt: to taste
- Olive oil: 2-3 tablespoons
Instructions:
Preparing the Cauliflower:
- Choosing Cauliflower:
- Select a cauliflower that is fresh without any blemishes or signs of dehydration.
- You can also use different varieties of cauliflower, such as purple, orange, or green, which are beautiful and used in various dishes to enhance color. They have the same flavor.
- Cleaning the Cauliflower:
- Remove all the leaves carefully. Do not throw them away; you can wash, store, and freeze them for use in vegetable broths or soups.
- Carefully cut out the core or stem of the cauliflower and break it into florets. Try to make all florets the same size for even cooking.
- For the thicker parts, cut them into smaller pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Boiling the Cauliflower:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil.
- Add the cauliflower florets to the boiling water and a pinch of salt for flavor.
- Cook the cauliflower for 5-8 minutes. Do not overcook to avoid sogginess. Drain and set aside.
Cooking the Cauliflower:
- Preparing the Pan:
- In a pan or skillet, add 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Finely chop the garlic and add it to the pan along with one tablespoon of paprika or pimentón powder.
- Sauté over medium-low heat to avoid burning the garlic, as it will become bitter if overcooked. Cook for no more than 2 minutes.
- Adding the Cauliflower:
- Add the drained cauliflower to the pan and stir well to coat with the garlic and paprika mixture.
- You can also add chipotle or smoked flavors at this point if desired. However, the dish is delicious with just these simple ingredients.
- Final Touches:
- Adjust the salt to taste.
- Garnish with finely chopped green onions, parsley, or your favorite herbs. You can also add chili flakes if you like some heat.
