Cauliflower Tacos

Cauliflower Tacos serves 2

Inspired by old-school, ground-beef tacos, these are a best friend to hurried weeknights. Hopefully a cold beer is somewhere close by. Want to make your ingredient list a bit bigger? You could add: hot sauce, sliced or smashed avocado; sour cream or Greek yogurt; black or pinto beans; shaved or pickled jalapeños; or finely diced raw onion. —Emma Laperruque

Ingredients

1 head cauliflower
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 ¹/₂ teaspoons chili powder
³/₄ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
8 hard-shell tacos
1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
1 cup grated pepper jack cheese

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450° F. Line two rimmed sheet pans with silicone mats or parchment.

Remove the very bottom of the cauliflower stem, as well as the green leaves. Roughly chop. Add about half to a food processor and pulse until it’s almost riced. Some chunks here and there are good—this is supposed to look like ground beef. Dump onto one lined sheet pan. Process the remaining cauliflower florets and add to the sheet pan. (Psst: Don’t try to process in one batch! It’s too much volume and will chop unevenly.)

Add the olive oil, chili powder, and salt to the cauliflower. Toss. Divide this mixture between the two sheet trays. (Spreading the cauliflower out this much helps it brown, not steam.)

Roast for about 20 minutes—rotating the pans top to bottom and front to back halfway through.

When the cauliflower is done, remove from the oven and add the hard-shell tacos—either directly on the oven rack or onto another sheet pan—to toast for a couple minutes, until warm.

Assemble the tacos in the following order: shell, cauliflower, lettuce, cheese.

Enjoy!

Seafood green onion pancake

Seafood green onion pancake maangchi’s recipe Some tips when making these pancakes: • For a vegetarian version, skip the seafood and egg and use vegetable stock. • The batter should be runny, because thick batter will clump when you cook it and your pancake won’t turn out well. • While cooking, press down and poke the pancake to make some gaps in between the green onions. You should see some steam coming up through the gaps, that means the green onions are being cooked nicely. • This pancake is too heavy to toss up and flip, so don’t try it! You’ll need a big spatula to turn it over. • Be sure to make the dipping sauce, that’s the best way to enjoy it! Ingredients Serves 2 • ½ cup all-purpose flour • 1 tablespoon potato starch(corn starch) • ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus a pinch of salt • a pinch of ground black pepper • ¾ cup stock (anchovy kelp stock, chicken stock or vegetable stock), or water • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil • 12 green onions, roots and tops trimmed to 8 to ...
