Ingredients Needed
- 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Hollandaise sauce:
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
Preparation Steps
Roasting the Cauliflower
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, curry powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and tender.
Making the Hollandaise Sauce
In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks and lemon juice. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom doesn’t touch the water. Whisk constantly until the mixture thickens. Slowly drizzle in melted butter, whisking continuously. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper if desired. Keep warm.
Serving Suggestions
Arrange the roasted cauliflower on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the warm Hollandaise sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added flavor and color. Serve immediately for the best taste.
Tips for Success
- Ensure the egg yolks are whisked continuously to prevent curdling.
- Keep the Hollandaise warm but not hot to avoid breaking the sauce.
- You can prepare the Hollandaise ahead of time and gently reheat before serving.
This dish combines the creamy richness of Hollandaise with the bold flavors of curry-spiced roasted cauliflower, making it a memorable addition to any meal.
