Whole Steamed Cauliflower with Gribiche Sauce

Cultural Context

Originating from France, this dish showcases the classic technique of steaming vegetables, allowing their natural flavors to shine. Gribiche sauce, a tangy egg-based dressing, adds a delightful contrast to the mildness of the cauliflower. This dish is often served as a light main course or a side, celebrated for its simplicity and elegance. Today, it finds a place in both rustic and modern dining settings, appealing to those who appreciate fresh, seasonal ingredients.

1

Place a little water into the pressure cooker.

2

Put the whole head of cauliflower into a steamer basket, leaving some leaves on for presentation.

3

Lock the lid on the pressure cooker and turn it to the pressure cooker symbol.

4

Wait for the steam to gather and then turn down the heat, cooking for 5 minutes once at pressure.

5

While the cauliflower is cooking, prepare the sauce.

6

Separate the boiled egg yolks into a bowl, discarding the whites or saving them for another use.

7

Add 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the egg yolks and whisk together.

8

Slowly add vegetable oil or grapeseed oil to the egg yolks while whisking to create an emulsion, adding a few splashes at a time until thickened.

9

Once the cauliflower is done, allow it to cool slightly before adding the sauce.

10

Grate the hard-boiled eggs into the mayonnaise mixture for texture and creaminess.

11

Add chopped cornichons, 2 anchovies, whole baby capers, and chopped French shallots to the mayonnaise and mix well.

Add fresh herbs: tarragon, parsley, and mint, finely chopped, to the mayonnaise and mix in an extra pinch of salt and pepper.

Spread a quarter of the sauce on a plate, place the cauliflower on top, and drizzle the remaining sauce over it.

Cut the cauliflower in half for presentation, allowing it to fall slightly for visual appeal.
