Cauliflower Canapés
Food Ingredients:
12 small slices of crusty bread (toasted) 1/2 head cauliflower 2 cloves browned/roasted garlic 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil (plus 1 tablespoon for toast) Kosher salt freshly ground white pepper Dash of Tabasco or other hot sauce
Recipe preparation:
1 Brush the slices of bread with about 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Arrange on a baking sheet and toast in a 450oF oven until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside. 2 Trim the cauliflower and separate it into large florets. Steam the remaining florets in a steamer basket over boiling water until soft, 12 to 15 minutes. 3 Transfer the steamed cauliflower to a food processor, add the browned garlic and salt and pepper to taste, and puree until smooth. With the processor running, pour in the remaining ¼ cup olive oil, and a dash or two of hot pepper sauce, then taste and adjust the seasonings. 4 Spoon a layer of the cauliflower puree on toast slices and garnish with your favorite topping such as tiny parsley sprigs, roasted red pepper slices, sun-dried tomatoes, capers, or even raw cauliflower slices. 5 Drizzle with plain or infused extra-virgin olive oil (truffle, lemon, herb, etc.)
