Ingredients

  • 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Optional: chopped fresh herbs for garnish

Preparation of Roasted Cauliflower

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and tender. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Making the Curry-Infused Hollandaise

In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, curry powder, and Dijon mustard. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and whisk continuously until the mixture thickens. Carefully add melted butter in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly to create a smooth, creamy sauce. Remove from heat.

Tips for Success

Ensure the water in the double boiler is simmering gently to prevent curdling. Keep whisking to achieve a silky texture. Adjust seasoning with salt or more lemon juice if needed.

Serving Suggestions

Arrange the roasted cauliflower on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the warm curry-infused Hollandaise sauce. Garnish with chopped herbs for a burst of freshness. This dish pairs well with rice or crusty bread for a complete meal.

Enjoy this flavorful and colorful dish that combines the warmth of curry with the richness of Hollandaise and the crunch of roasted cauliflower. Perfect for entertaining or a special weeknight dinner.
