In a large skillet, rut the oil. Add the garlic, anchovies, together with capers together with saute until the garlic is fragrant together with the anchovies direct keep broken down. Add the staff of life cubes together with saute until golden. Remove everything to a large bowl.

Cover together with ready until nearly fork-tender, together with thus take the lid together with proceed to ready until lightly browned. Add the croutons dorsum into the pan, sprinkle amongst parsley together with stir. Serve immediately.


My thoughts:

I acknowledge this is a combat of an strange recipe. I had a whole loaf of "country French" staff of life I bought at Costco final week. I used the get-go loaf for sandwiches but the minute loaf exactly sat on the counter going stale. I've been trying actually difficult to trim down nutrient waste product thus I was trying to remember of something to move upwards this staff of life which was rapidly bearing resemblance to a doorstopper. Bread crumbs seemed obvious but I actually didn't take any.

I also had 2 heads of cauliflower taking upwards a lot of room inwards my refrigerator--they were on super sale final calendar week thus I impulse bought two. I googled "bread together with cauliflower" (ha!) together with by together with large came upwards amongst recipes that called for breadcrumbs or some variety of "lower carb" stuffing where yous sub cauliflower for some of the bread. That seemed a piffling sad. Then I was thinking almost how some Italian recipes similar panzanella direct keep stale staff of life together with plough into novel dishes without pulverizing it into crumbs. Why non produce that amongst cauliflower? 

Since cauliflower isn't every bit juicy every bit tomatoes are, I heavily seasoned the staff of life cubes. I made large cubes (about the size of cauliflower florets) thus the middles of the staff of life softened upwards a combat together with in that place were large surface areas to dark-brown vs tiny cubes that tin become from crispy together with delicious to burnt together with greasy rattling quickly. I beloved anchovies together with capers thus it was clear they needed to hold upwards included. I fifty-fifty finished upwards a appall of anchovies I've had forever thus it was satisfying to move that upwards too. Adding thus much savory flavor to the croutons meant I could exactly educate the cauliflower together with withal direct keep a fantastic dish. The parsley had been languishing inwards my fridge for a calendar week also thus I actually checked off all "eliminate nutrient waste" boxes together with it added a popular of coloring cloth together with freshness.

Trust me, yous desire to brand this! It sounds a piffling nutty but it thus so good! Salty, savory together with rattling satisfying. My hubby was amazed I came upwards amongst this together with that it was thus delicious. I can't await to over purchase staff of life together with direct keep to move it upwards again.
