Carrot-date glazed fried cauliflower with roasted carrots and black rice
Roast
Roasting
This is one of those dishes that is hearty enough for the end of winter but gets you terribly antsy for spring with the citrus notes and the finishing of dandelion greens dressed in a light vinaigrette. Dates are a pretty common place in my house for green smoothies, raw desserts, etc. so when developing this dish, I really wanted to step outside of my comfort zone and use dates as a key component in something savory. I racked my brain over this; I started daydreaming about a sea bass with crispy skin scored and seared to perfection and somehow ended up on this spicy fried cauliflower, with light notes of coconut, carrots and dates finessed two ways – all complemented by dressed dandelion greens. It finishes off as a kind of fun riff on honey-glazed fried chicken. Needless to say, it was a playground that ended up tasting pretty good.
