- Hey everybody, it's Bobby here
0:02
filling in for my mom once again on her YouTube channel.
0:06
I'm gonna make something really healthy and delicious
0:07
for you today that I think you're gonna like.
0:09
We're gonna cut a couple of corners
0:12
and I'm gonna tell you how you can do it differently
0:15
But it's a really straightforward, great, easy dish.
0:18
It's called a, excuse me,
0:20
it's called a cauliflower,
0:21
Mediterranean cauliflower casserole.
0:24
That was easy to say, right?
0:25
Okay, so I've already boiled and drained my cauliflower.
0:29
It's soft and tender over here.
0:31
So the next step in the process is
0:34
onion sauteed in our skillet.
0:43
Smells so fresh and delicious.
0:45
And we're just gonna let this saute for a couple of minutes.
0:49
Get a little color to it
0:50
before we add our garlic and our Kalamata olives.
0:53
Some of my favorite things are involved in this recipe.
0:56
I love olives, I love all things Mediterranean actually.
0:59
I love tomatoes and olives
1:01
and it also happens that I like cauliflower.
1:03
So this dish is right up my alley.
1:05
It's a simple bake and I think you're gonna like it.
1:09
So the ways that we're cutting some corners are,
1:12
I'm going to use some pre-minced garlic, okay?
1:16
And I know that people have feelings,
1:17
people have feelings, (Bobby laughing)
1:20
You can mince it yourself at home.
1:22
I have a garlic mincer and generally
1:25
I mince fresh garlic, whenever I'm using.
1:32
this is a really simple way to cut down
1:35
your task a little bit
1:36
and have to do a little bit less work.
1:38
I'm also going to use,
1:41
canned diced tomatoes
1:44
but you know when I'm at home,
1:46
I usually take grape tomatoes or vine ripe,
1:49
whatever I have, and throw 'em into a food processor.
1:52
And that's how I do mine so,
1:54
but really simple to just use canned tomatoes
1:58
and a little bit of pre minced garlic.
2:00
And I promise you that none of your guests or your family
2:04
will be any of the wiser,
2:06
it will be equally delicious.
2:09
So I've got everything,
2:10
I'm sauteing nicely here.
2:14
Gonna add my tomatoes.
2:22
And while my hand is rolling over here,
2:28
why don't we go ahead
2:31
and put our cauliflower into our casserole dish.
2:38
Got a few simple steps here
2:43
and I think that I think that,
2:45
your family would really like this.
2:47
Okay, so our cauliflower, nice and tender.
2:52
Hmm. (Bobby chuckling)
2:54
You know what we do at my house too?
2:56
When you have kids, and I do,
3:01
sometimes you have to find a way to sneak
3:04
the vegetables into their bellies, into their diets.
3:07
So my wife Claudia, makes a lot of cauliflower rice.
3:14
You guys are probably all super familiar
3:15
with cauliflower rice.
3:17
It's easy to do at the house
3:18
and it's a great way to kind of trick your kids.
3:21
Sometimes you have to do that or we,
3:24
you know, you hide things inside macaroni and cheeses.
3:27
You do all sort, you learn all sorts of little tricks
3:29
when you have have kids.
3:31
So what we're gonna do is,
3:34
have our cauliflower in our casserole dish here.
3:38
We're gonna get our saute pan
3:44
Get those onions nice and tender.
3:47
And garlic, get everything married together.
3:49
This already sounds like it,
3:50
smells like a really good Italian dish coming together here.
3:56
And the only thing that we're missing is,
4:01
So why don't we, while this finishes sauteing,
4:04
we'll take a little break and then we'll come right back.
4:06
This looks and smells so good,
4:09
it's such a simple combination.
4:11
And it's really thickened up nicely.
4:13
That's about 10 minutes on the stove top.
4:16
Exactly what I want it to look like.
4:18
The only thing missing, Kalamata olives.
4:23
And people, either love olives it seems
4:27
or they do not love olives at all.
4:32
I keep jars of olives of all sorts
4:34
in my house all the time and just snack on them.
4:40
And that's really gonna give this dish some pop,
4:46
some great flavor and that Mediterranean component.
4:54
Be honest, I could sit down
4:55
and just eat this outta the bowl. (Bobby chuckling)
5:01
It would be great over pasta if you wanted to do it.
5:02
But this is a super healthy recipe
5:06
that you could feel great about.
5:09
Okay, so we're all done here, turn our stove top off.
5:14
We're just gonna pour this
5:15
right over the top of our cauliflower.
5:48
Spread and make sure that it gets into all those crevices.
5:59
And to, finish it off,
6:04
crumble some feta right to the top.
6:12
Boy is this gonna be good.
6:15
I think I'm gonna go hard on the feta.
6:18
I'm not gonna skimp 'cause this is a skinny recipe.
6:20
I'm gonna use all this feta.
6:32
For, I don't know, maybe about 15 minutes.
6:35
We'll check it and see how it looks
6:36
'cause everything's already cooked after all,
6:38
we don't wanna burn it.
6:39
We just wanna make it nice and casserole-ish.
6:42
So we'll see you in just a few minutes.
6:45
Our Mediterranean cauliflower casserole is out of the oven.
6:48
It only took about 10 minutes.
6:52
And you can see that my feta cheese,
6:54
feta cheese doesn't really melt,
6:56
it sort of just gets brown and it looks and smells so good.
7:00
Let's see how it tastes.
7:02
I'm only gonna take one bite,
7:03
so make it a good one.
7:19
The garlic and the tomatoes,
7:22
great together and the Kalamata olives
7:25
give it just the right amount of oomph.
7:28
It's got umami sort of feel and flavor to it.
7:33
I think that your guests are gonna love it.
7:34
So Mediterranean cauliflower casserole,
7:36
super healthy, super simple,
7:38
super fast and your guest will love it.
