I had this Chef Michael Symon recipe from "The Chew" bookmarked for quite some time now, so decided it was time to try it out. I used all the cauliflower and a pack of Johnsonville Brats (1 lb) Sweet Basil Italian sausage (casings removed). Because they are sweet, I put a good pinch of chili flakes in when frying, about a good heaping teaspoon.
After the sausage was done, I moved it to a bowl and stir fried the cauliflower until it was browned. Then I poured it into a "Pam" sprayed 13" x 9" baking dish.
I put a bit more olive oil in the fry pan and sauteed the onions and garlic, then I added the San Marzano tomatoes.
These are worth buying. I bought mine downtown and they were expensive, $5 a tin, but I will stock up at Famous Foods next time I'm there. I expect them to be cheaper there. I crushed them with a potato masher and added back in the sausage.
I simmered for about 5 minutes and then added the parsley. I poured the entire mixture over the cauliflower. I grated about a cup of Parmesan cheese and mixed with the Panko.
I sprinkled this on top and put it into a 350°F oven for about 45 minutes. I let it sit for 15 minutes when it came out.
Super, super easy recipe to prepare. Very painless. Feels guilt free almost, too. I will keep this in my dinner rotation for sure. My tip: Make sure you use the San Marzano tomatoes. There are so few items in this dish that you want to use quality ingredients. AND, it tasted better the next day!
