This Grenoble-Style Cauliflower Delivers Zing & Zest
Striking mountain views and a vibrant university culture set Grenoble apart from its Parisian complement in northern France. Nicknamed the “Capital of the Alps,” the southern city is a playground of artistic and athletic experiences, with a distinct gastronomical repertoire of its own.
A simple dish best served atop fish or other protein, TikTok food creator and chef Laurent Dagenais has his own take on Cauliflower Grenobloise that delivers texture, freshness, and flavor with a handful of easy ingredients to come by. Butter and bacon slices lend depth to balance out acidic capers and lemon — instructions for correctly quartering citrus are included in his debut cookbook, Always Hungry!
Versatile cauliflower allows other elements to shine, and parsley provides a welcome pop of green. To top it off, Dagenais recommends store-bought fried onions for extra crunch.
