Preparation of Vegan Cauliflower Tacos with Green Sauce in the recipe video
A recipe video that explains the preparation of the cauliflower tacos can be found here (the video also has English subtitles). Below you can also read the steps in text form.
1. Cut the cauliflower into small pieces. Remove most of the stems.
2. Finely chop the onions in cubes, set one half aside.
3. Finely chop cilantro and set aside in a small bowl. The cilantro will go on the tacos later.
4. In a stand mixer, put half of the onions, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of oregano, 1 teaspoon of marjoram, 150 ml of water and the tomatillos.
5. Heat the oil in a deep pan and fry the other half of the onions. Sauté the remaining clove of garlic crushed.
6. Add cauliflower after a short time and season with salt and pepper. Add about 50ml more oil on top of the cauliflower.
7. Fry in the pan for about 3 minutes.
8. Add the mixed green sauce / salsa and cook, covered, for about 15 minutes.
9. Heat the Tortillas a flat pan (eg. Comal). Wrap in a tortillero or drying dish towel to warm. Optionally still heat bean puree in a few minutes separately in a small pot and eat as a side dish.
Bon Appetite!
