Ingredients
Sautéed Cauliflower Slices
- Ingredients
- ½ Cauliflower
- 1 lb White bean
- 2 Tbsps olive oil
- 1 oz Almond slivers
- salt
- peppers
- 1 pinch sugar
- 1 lemon
- 1 bunch parsley
Rinse the cauliflower half and cut into 2 pieces. With a large knife, cut each piece into 1 cm (approximately 1/2 inch) thick slices.
Drain beans in a sieve, taking care to reserve the liquid.
Heat oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add cauliflower slices, cover and cook, turning occasionally, 6 minutes. Add almonds and season to taste with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. Reduce heat to low and continue to cook, uncovered, until cauliflower is tender, 4-5 minutes more.
Meanwhile, rinse lemon in hot water and wipe dry. Finely zest half of lemon and squeeze half of the juice.
In a pot, combine beans, lemon zest and 100 ml (approximately 1/3 cup) of the reserved bean liquid. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 2 minutes.
Rinse parsley and shake dry. Reserve a few whole leaves. Chop remaining parsley leaves.
Puree beans with an immersion blender. Mix in the chopped parsley, return to a boil and season with salt, pepper and 1-2 teaspoons lemon juice.
Serve sautéed cauliflower on top of the bean puree. Sprinkle with reserved parsley leaves.

Healthy, because
Impressive double B: cauliflower and beans combine to form a vegetable meal that, in view of its high fibre and protein content, is wonderfully satisfying for a long time. On top of that\'s plenty of folic acid - an important B vitamin that the body can only store for a short time compared to others.
Even smarter
Are you on a grease spot? No problem, if you change the preparation a little bit. Steam the cauliflower in a little water (instead of frying in oil) and roast the almonds without fat in a coated pan.
