Balsamic Onions

Biscuit Croutons

Method

Soup Preparation

  1. 1

    Roast Cauliflower

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the cauliflower into florets and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, until golden and tender.

  2. 2

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Blend Soup Base

    Add the roasted cauliflower to the pot along with the vegetable broth and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Charred Romaine

  1. 4

    Grill Romaine

    Cut the romaine lettuce in half lengthwise. Brush the cut sides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Grill or char on a hot skillet for about 2-3 minutes until charred and slightly wilted.

Balsamic Onions

  1. 5

    Caramelize Onions

    Slice the red onion into thin rings. In a skillet over medium heat, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and onions. Cook until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt to taste.

Biscuit Croutons

  1. 6

    Prepare Croutons

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut biscuit dough into small cubes and place on a baking sheet. Melt butter and drizzle over the biscuit cubes. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and crispy.
