  • 3 ounces button mushrooms (such as cremini)
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • ½ head chicory lettuce (such as frisée or endive)
  • Sun Basket artichoke romesco (artichokes - almonds - olive oil - sherry vinegar - arugula - fresh garlic - sweet smoked paprika)
  • 3 or 4 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon red chile flakes (optional)
  • 10 ounces cauliflower “rice” (see Market Watch note)
  • 2 ounces baby greens (such as kale or arugula)

Ingredient IQ

A sauce from Catalan Spain, romesco is traditionally an earthy blend of roasted peppers, almonds, garlic, smoked paprika, and sherry vinegar. Whether made from a base of roasted red peppers, or our modern twist of cooked artichoke hearts, it’s an ideal match for meats and vegetables.

Market Watch
Organic cauliflower “rice” is still a scarce commodity, so you may receive organic whole cauliflower, broccoli crowns, or broccoli “rice” instead. For broccoli “rice,” which is made from the stems, follow the recipe as written. For whole cauliflower or broccoli crowns, cut the vegetable lengthwise into quarters, discarding any leaves or thick stalks. Using a food processor fitted with the grater attachment, or the coarse holes of a box grater, coarsely grate. Alternatively, using a knife, cut the florets into ¼-inch pieces. Then follow the recipe as written.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep and cook the sausages and mushrooms

  • Pat the sausages dry with a paper towel; prick in a few places with a fork.
  • Cut the mushrooms in half lengthwise; cut any large mushrooms into quarters.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the sausages and mushrooms and cook, turning the sausages once and stirring the mushrooms occasionally, until the sausages are well browned and cooked through and the mushrooms are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Season the mushrooms to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer the sausages and mushrooms to a plate. Do not clean the pan.
While the sausages and mushrooms cook, prepare the remaining ingredients.

2

Prep the remaining ingredients

  • Remove the stem, ribs, and seeds from the bell pepper; coarsely chop the pepper.
  • Trim the root end from the chicory lettuce; coarsely chop the leaves.
  • Measure out 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] artichoke romesco for the salad; set aside the rest for garnish.
  • Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves. Divide into two equal portions, one for the salad and one for garnish.

3

Cook the warm cauliflower salad

In the same pan used for the sausages and mushrooms, if dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons oil. Warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Stir in the bell pepper and as many chile flakes as you like and cook until the pepper starts to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cauliflower “rice” and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower starts to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the chicory lettuce, baby greens, the 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] artichoke romesco, and half the parsley and cook until the lettuce and greens wilt, 1 to 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve
