Brown sugar and bourbon Cauliflower Bowl

This American Comfort Bowl leans on brown sugar and bourbon to do the heavy lifting. We roast the Cauliflower for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.

Brown sugar and bourbon Cauliflower Bowl
Method

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the brown sugar and bourbon elements, and pat the cauliflower dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add the cauliflower and roast until it takes on colour and the edges catch, 4 to 6 minutes.

Stir in the buttermilk and the rest of the brown sugar and bourbon flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the spinach along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
