Crock Pot Cauliflower INGREDIENTS & Directions
Did you know that one of the fractal properties of cauliflower is that every branch, or “module”, is similar to the entire cauliflower.
Cauliflower is also a good source of vitamin K, protein, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, magnesium, and phosphorus, and a very good source of fiber, vitamin B6, folate, pantothenic acid, 303 milligrams of potassium, and manganese.
Now time for the Ingredients:
- 1 large whole cauliflower
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped sage
- 1 lemon, juiced and zested
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¾ cup powdered Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
- If cauliflower has greens still attached to the bottom, leave them on.
- Place whole cauliflower in the slow cooker.
- In a small bowl, mix together garlic, butter, sage and lemon zest.
- Pour butter mixture over cauliflower.
- Use your fingers to rub into the surface.
- Evenly sprinkle with the salt and pepper, followed by the powdered Parmesan cheese.
- Pour the lemon juice around the cauliflower in the slow cooker (not on top of the cauliflower).
- Cook on LOW for 5 hours, or on HIGH for 3 hours, 30 minutes.
- Gently remove the cauliflower from the slow cooker.
- Add parsley to the slow cooker and mix with the liquid from cooking.
- Slice the cauliflower and pour the sauce (cooking liquid with parsley) over the top.
- Serve with grilled chicken or fish, or let it stand alone and shine.
Tip: If your cauliflower still has the greens on, you can eat those as well. It’s actually a waste to cut them off and throw away. Plus, they’re delicious!
