Cauliflower has a delicate, slightly nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with crispy breadcrumbs. It must be heated in melted butter in a pan. The addition of butter makes the dish more creamy and rich. The breadcrumbs give the cauliflower a crunch, but it's important not to make the mixture too thick.

Cauliflower and garlic? It's going to be delicious

How else can you serve this seasonal vegetable? It turns out that it's worth adding garlic to the breadcrumbs. This addition introduces an intense, spicy accent. You can choose robust and fresh garlic cloves or garlic flakes, which are popular among chefs. The latter ingredient is less likely to burn and ruin the dish.

How to prepare cauliflower with breadcrumbs and garlic?

Ingredients:

  • 1 head of cauliflower
  • half a cup of breadcrumbs
  • 2 ounces of butter
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • parsley (for garnish - optional)

Preparation:

  1. Wash the cauliflower, break it into florets, and cook it in salted water until tender (about 10-15 minutes). After cooking, drain the cauliflower and set it aside.
  2. Melt the butter in a large pan. Add the chopped garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant. Add the breadcrumbs and sauté, stirring constantly, until the breadcrumbs are golden and crispy (about 3-5 minutes)—season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Add the cooked cauliflower to the pan with the breadcrumbs and gently mix until the cauliflower florets are coated with the breadcrumbs and butter. Heat everything together for a few minutes until the cauliflower is warm.
  4. Transfer the cauliflower, breadcrumbs, and garlic to a plate. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for added flavor and color.

Cauliflower with breadcrumbs and garlic is a simple yet delicious dish that will surely appeal to any vegetable lover. This classic combination of flavors makes cauliflower a unique side dish for dinner or a standalone light meal. Try this recipe and see how easy it is to turn ordinary cauliflower into a true culinary dream.
