Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- salt to your taste
- water for blanching
Instructions
- If you are going to cook fresh cauliflower, you should remove the leaves first, then cut off the stem, get rid of all the dark spots on the florets, and finally, cut the head into bite-size pieces.
- Rinse the florets thoroughly.
- Let the water boil in a pot on high heat (water in a pot should cover florets) and add salt at a proportion of 1 tsp of salt for 1 liter of water.
- When water boils, put cut florets of cauliflower into the water; wait until it reboils, and lower the heat on the stove. Blanch it for 3 to 5 minutes. If you want to have it tender, then it will take you up to 10 minutes to cook cauliflower.
- While cauliflower is blanching, prepare a large bowl with cold iced water. When time passes, quickly move blanched florets into the bowl. We need to stop the cooking process immediately, that is why we need this cold water. Wait for 5 minutes, and then take cauliflower out. Here you have a delicious garnish for your dinner meal!
