Blackened Balsamic Cauliflower from The Plantpower Way Italia

0 · May 28, 2018 · Kiersten · Leave a Comment

While we tend to favor simple recipes over complicated ones with lots of steps and components, the ingredients you use can completely make or break your dish. Take this Blacked Balsamic Cauliflower, for example.

All you need to make it is cauliflower, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, fresh herbs, and salt and pepper. The quality of the vinegar you use is absolutely crucial here–use a cheap, watery acidic balsamic vinegar and you’re bound to be disappointed. Opt for a syrupy aged vinegar with the right balance of sweetness and acidity and this simple dish becomes transcendent.

The recipe comes from The Plantpower Way Italia: Delicious Vegan Recipes from the Italian Countryside by Julie Piatt and Rich Roll. It’s a stunning (and huge!) cookbook full of plant-based twists on Italian classics like carpaccio, pizza margherita, and tiramisu.

But this book isn’t just about the classics–it’s inventive too. There’s the vegan cheese made with roasted almonds and sun-dried tomatoes. Or the Buffalo cauliflower pizza, topped with pineapple and mushroom bacon. And the polenta panini, which swaps out the bread for homemade polenta.
