The Dish I'd Serve to Impress Someone + Learn to master cauliflower steaks

[@carolseven3802]

This dish has so much eye appeal! The contrast of textures and flavors! Well, I need to make a quick grocery run. Thank you!

[@thenarddogcooks]

😍🙌🏾

[@kindredanon]

The tiny whisk brings me joy every time. This looks great! I love cauliflower but I've never had the emotional wherewithal to try and cut it into cauli steaks instead of florets and inevitable crumbles. This looks so good, though... Going on my to-make list!

[@queenb5913]

I come here for the food and the dope jazz playing in the background! Reminds me of my dad ☺️.

[@bellandbutterfly]

Making it for Christmas dinner! Thank you for the BEST recipes & cool jazz. Believin!

Tonight's dinner has been decided

[@AllergyFriendlyVeganVideos]

You had me laughing with your "Under the Sea" impression! Lol! Love your content and I'm looking forward to making some cauliflower steaks! Your presentation is so beautiful!

[@thenarddogcooks]

😂 this makes me happy. typically im just cracking myself up!

[@AllergyFriendlyVeganVideos]

@@thenarddogcooks I love that you include smiles along with your good food! =D

[@denishafamily83]

Looks so good! Your “unda da sea” rendition was hilarious! You’re such a dad! 😄Thank you brother! 🙏🏽

[@Corinne-v9c]

I'm glad you explained why you put the kombu in because I just suspected that with all hard beans & pulses that kombu helps to maybe make them more digestible & tender. I may be wrong...but if my memory serves correctly, that's what I learned a long time ago about kombu...that it helps make food more digestible & of course adds some extra mineral content.

[@thenarddogcooks]

Although I didn't explain that part, you are absolutely correct. Kombu does 3 things; adds nutrients, tenderize and adds flavor. Tenderize is the part that you referenced. Kombu as an enzyme that helps break down complex sugars in foods, that ultimately make them less gassy and more digestible for us. ❤️

[@RasKitchen]

Yes Nard Dog! I need to try this one for real 🙌

[@laurar9748]

I made your Thai green curry, two nights ago, and it was one of the very best things I have ever cooked at home. This one, is on deck! 😋

[@thenarddogcooks]

[@thenarddogcooks]

I appreciate that!

[@katherineheiss1142]

Looks phenomenal!

[@adriennefriend]

Looking forward to watching this one. I've been curious about cauliflower steaks but I've always passed on other recipes. I think yours might be the one to try

[@cat1106]

it takes some practice, but with your easy instructions I can learn!

[@thenarddogcooks]

🙌🏾 you got it!

[@eileennahan7830]

Wonderful. Love this recipe.

[@Leza1121]

I'm not a fan of cauliflower, but you made it look delicious! Thank you for sharing the recipe, Nard. Wishing you a beautiful Sunday and a peaceful productive week.😊

[@thenarddogcooks]

🙏🏾 right back at ya!

[@spitre5456]

That looks like a great meal!

[@ledelste]

Bear claws got me there

[@catf8392]

Love how baby whisk spawned at 3:12 😂 All looks delicious!

[@DrDavelope]

I’ve been using tahini as a dressing for my cooked cauliflower steaks and then topped with zaatar. Quicker than most recipes but perhaps not as delicious as this one.

[@henrifischer1119]

coolest youtube cook. love the beard.

[@steamyvegan]

Very steamy! Great recipe, can't wait to try it out! Thanks a bunch!

[@thenarddogcooks]

My pleasure 😊

[@ChefShaylaMD]

This is another great recipe Andrew! The contrasting colors look beautiful! Im used to doing cauliflower steaks on the stove top but I love it this way- looks like an easy way to grtnthat same carmalization with less work.

[@thenarddogcooks]

exactly! Less effort, more flavor!

[@renesnodey2743]

It was delicious and filling I used brown rice I had lentils yesterday came out delicious

[@RonsonDalby]

Those mini whisks are really handy.

[@GST6647]

Love the beard braid ❤!

[@rachelv673]

This looks so amazing!

Is that the corn whisk??? Came in pretty handy...😁

[@EmpathEnergyMe]

You had me at juicy cauliflower steak 🥰🥰🥰✨✨✨🌱🌱🙏🙏

[@lorrainethomas241]

I'm such a fan of cauliflower, but I've never tried the steaks. That changes now.

[@8thhousealchemist600]

Wow!!

[@Jenn-RH]

Beautiful dish! I would love if you did a lentil video. What is the difference between red, brown, green, black and when to use each? What is the difference in cooking? Can any be mashed so they just blend into the dish/sauce and people dont have to deal with the lentil texture? Maybe I'm the only one, but I need lentil help!

[@thenarddogcooks]

I'm sure you're not the only one. Thanks for the suggestion! 🙏🏾

[@cynthiacobb3528]

You need to put an air tag on baby whisk! Lol

[@thenarddogcooks]

😂 right!

[@rolandogm9939]

Made this, fucking incredible. Absolute legend

[@Shorties88]

What dis you put after breadcrumbs????

[@renesnodey2743]

So I made this today how long will the sauce last in the fridge

[@hisokasimp6014]

can we use green capsicum instead of roasted red pepper

[@ednapuckett1042]

I’m not a big fan of asparagus. Would a sautéed dark leafy green like greens or chard work okay?

[@marrobbart6093]

I've never heard of black lentils! Do they taste the same as other lentils.

[@thenarddogcooks]

kinda rich nutty flavor

[@marrobbart6093]

@@thenarddogcooks thank you Andrew, i'll check them out!

[@travisreed5965]

Interesting - Short , Sweet , And To The Point - Question ; Should You NOT Roast The Cashews/ Hazelnuts Prior To The Blending /Food Processor? The Asparagus Was A Beautiful Touch Be Well , Cheers

[@AnotherUTubeAccount]

I think you are asking because he used "raw cashews". They are not actually raw. They have been cooked once to make them safe to eat. Raw cashews are used for making cashew cream, roasted cashews can be used, but they will not be as creamy after roasting. But might have a bolder cashew taste, so you do you. :)

[@edithraw8399]

This dish looks beautiful & flavorful! Definitely going to try soon. Love your vibe & your show, Andrew! Keep up the good work!☀️

[@thenarddogcooks]

🙏🏾 these cashews and hazelnuts I bought roasted already. But yes, if you have raw cashews and or raw hazelnuts, you should roast them prior to blending!

[@travisreed5965]

@@thenarddogcooks , Thank You For Explaining - The Main Reason I Asked Was NOT About Critically Pointing Out But Was More About The Oils In The Nuts - Roasting Chestnuts Or Hazelnuts Brings Out The Oil Flavor Or Nutty Flavors - So I Was Inquiring If Roasting Before Blending Changes The Structure Or Overall Flavor - I Appreciate @AnotherUTubeAccount & Agree With @edithraw8399 - I Definitely Dig This Channel And Looking Forward To Learning More - Its A Fascinating World Out There Stay Brilliant, Cheers

[@TheEmpressgoth]

❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

[@katyalafon9006]

The sauce is served cold or you heat it up ?

[@thenarddogcooks]

I serve it at room temp along with the other ingredients that are warm. What you can do either!

[@glenda7921]

Just me, or were some ingredients missing from the captions during the blender moment?

[@chopin65]

Why is it harder to cook for smaller numbers?

[@thenarddogcooks]

I don't think it is... Then again, when I had to cook for myself, I liked having leftovers for the next few days. it helped me cook less. and most recipes seem to be about 3 to 4 servings so I used to just cut them in half.

[@TheKongWizard]

Ok, not sludge. Well a bit.

[@thenarddogcooks]

😂 seems i need to step it up!

[@Thecodexnoir]

There’s no nice way to say this so I’m just gona say it, you really need to trim your finger nails, watching someone make food with long, dirty finger nails isn’t appetizing.

[@thenarddogcooks]

My nails are normally shorter. Although i could choose to have longer nails because its my body. Considering that, your comment is an odd thing to say to someone. You have no idea if my nails are dirty or not. Also, plenty of women have long fingernails, sometimes with polish on it so you can't even see underneath their nails... Yet, I've never seen or heard anyone comment this about them. You should do better.

[@SerJorahBorealis]

Cauliflower steaks are *never* appealing to me, but you found a way to make it so. UNDAH DA SEA 🦞
