Cauliflower in Red Wine
Description
This is a family recipe that has been passed down through the ages. This is not one of those crisp-tender veggie dishes — you cook the cauliflower until it’s soft and well-steeped with wine. If purple cauliflower isn’t your thing, try it with dry white wine. My older brother Allen prefers this dish made with red-wine vinegar and sugar rather than with regular vino. Try it all three ways and see what you think.
Ingredients
1 head cauliflower, broken into florets
2 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, pressed through a garlic press
1/2 bottle dry red wine (or more to taste)
1 tbsp butter
Methods/steps
Steam cauliflower in steam basket or microwave about 4 minutes until crisp-tender.
Meanwhile, in large skillet, heat olive oil. Add cauliflower and onions. Sauté until onions are soft and cauliflower is partially cooked through, about 7 minutes. Add garlic and cook one minute. Remove skillet from heat.
Add wine. Return skillet to low heat. Stir until cauliflower is coated with wine. Cook an additional 10 minutes or until cauliflower is soft but not broken and wine has steeped enough to turn the cauliflower wine-red. Stir in butter. Serve immediately.
