Conopida coapta este una din cele mai recente descoperiri ale mele.
Dupa ce am mancat-o intr-un restaurant cu specific din Orientul Mijlociu, a fost o revelatie cat de versatila, gustoasa si suprinzatoare poate fi aceasta leguma, daca este gatita creativ.
Asa ca am incercat o varianta de conopida coapta la cuptor (asemenator cu ce am mancat in restaurant dar cumva in interpretarea mea – plus adaugarea de branza a fost un pas extra, deoarece aveam branza in frigider si nu voiam sa se strice 😊 ).
Retata e simpla si rapida si nu necesita multe ingrediente.
Pentru o varianta vegana, folositi ulei in loc de unt si renuntati la branza sau folositi branza vegana.
Ingrediente: (pentru 2-3 portii)
- ~ 1 kg de conopida (eu am avut 2 conopide medii care au avut impreuna undeva pe la 1100 de grame)
- 140 g unt
- 100 g branza cheddar data pe razatoare
- amestec condimente din: o lingura boia afumata (puteti folosi si boia clasica), o lingurita sare, o lingurita piper, o lingurita oregano uscat, o lingurita rozmarin uscat si o lingurita cimbru uscat
- putin patrunjel proaspat
Preparare:
Spalam conopida si o taiem in felii egale, cam de 1,5 grosime.
Intr-un bol punem untul, il topim la microunde 1-2 minute. Amestecam untul topit cu condimentele.
Pornim cuptorul si il lasam sa se incalzeasca la 220 de grade Celsius. Intre timp, pregatim o tava cu hartie de copt.
Pentru a ne fi mai usor, asezam feliile de conopida pe un fund de lemn si le ungem pe o parte cu amestecul de unt si condimente.
Le transferam in tava pregatita mai devreme, intoarse pe partea cealalta si ungem si aceasta parte cu unt cu condimente.
Dam tava la cuptor pentru ~20-25 de minute in funcție de cuptor.
Scoatem tava din cuptor fara a-l opri si presaram branza rasa deasupra.
Dam inapoi la cuptor pentru inca 1-2 minute.
Dupa ce e gata, o transferam pe un platou si presaram deasupra patrunjelul tocat marunt.
E delicioasa, dar nu ma credeti pe cuvant 🙂
Trebuie sa o incercati!
English translation:
Roasted cauliflower is one of my latest discoveries.
After eating it in a roasted variant in a Middle Eastern restaurant, I had a revelation about how versatile, tasty and surprisingly good this vegetable can be if it is cooked creatively.
So I tried a version of cauliflower baked in the oven (similar to what I ate in the restaurant but in my own interpretation, plus the addition of cheddar cheese was extra because I had the cheese in the fridge 😊 ).
The recipe is simple and quick and does not require many ingredients.
For a vegan version, use oil instead of butter and leave out the cheese or use vegan cheese.
Ingredients: (for 2-3 servings)
- ~ 1 kg cauliflower (I had 2 medium cauliflowers that together weighed around 1100 grams)
- 140 g butter
- 100 g grated cheddar cheese
- spices mix: a spoon of smoked paprika (you can also use classic paprika), a teaspoon of salt, a teaspoon of pepper, a teaspoon of dried oregano, a teaspoon of dried rosemary and a teaspoon of dried thyme
- some fresh parsley
Preparation:
Wash the cauliflower and cut it into equal slices, about 1.5 cm thickness.
Put the butter in a bowl, melt it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. Mix the melted butter with the spices.
Turn on the oven and let it heat up to 220 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, prepare a tray with baking paper.
To make the process easier, place the cauliflower slices on a cutting board and smear them on one side with the mixture of butter and spices.
Transfer them to the tray you prepared earlier, turned over on the other side and smear that other side with butter and spices.
Put the pan in the oven for ~20-25 minutes, depending on your oven.
Take the tray out of the oven without turning it off and sprinkle the grated cheese on top.
Return to the oven for another 2 minutes.
After it’s ready, transfer it to a plate and sprinkle the finely chopped parsley on top.
It’s delicious, but don’t take my word for it 🙂
You have to try it!
If you try the recipe, let me know how you liked it! 😊
Sunt curioasa daca veti incerca reteta, sa imi spuneti cum v-a placut. 🙂
