Step-by-step Guide

Preparation

  • Rinse the cauliflower under cold water and separate the florets with your hands or a knife, leaving little stem to ensure even cooking.
  • Lightly season the cauliflower florets with salt and pepper, ensuring they are well covered to facilitate even distribution of the seasoning.
  • Heat the wok (or a wide pan) over medium-high heat and, when it's well heated, add the broccoli and a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Let it cook for 7 to 10 minutes, occasionally stirring with a spatula to prevent sticking and ensure all the florets cook evenly.
  • Optional: halfway through cooking, add a chopped garlic clove to infuse the florets with its aroma, approximately at 4-5 minutes of cooking.
  • Towards the end of cooking, about 2 minutes before turning off the heat, add a handful of aromatic herbs of your choice for a fresh and aromatic touch.
Recommendations & Tricks
  • When slicing the cauliflower, ensure that the slices are of a uniform thickness, approximately 1 cm, to make sure they cook evenly.
  • Heat the grill well before placing the cauliflower; this step helps achieve a nicely browned surface and prevents sticking.
  • If you want to intensify the flavors, marinate the cauliflower with olive oil, seasonings, and spices for about 30 minutes before cooking it.
