breaded cauliflower

AP PHOTO cutlets with marinara

START TO FINISH: 1 hour 15 minutes (45 minutes active) SERVINGS: 4 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 teaspoons minced garlic I large head cauliflower 3 large eggs, lightly beaten 1/2 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided 1/2 cup cornstarch 1 3/4 cups panko breadcrumbs 1 ounce grated Parmesan cheese 1 1/2 cups speedy marinara (recipe below) or store-bought marinara, heated

HOW TO COOK Heat the oven to 400 F. In a small bowl, combine the oil and the garlic. Set aside. Pull off any leaves from the stem end of the cau- liflower and trim off just enough of the stem so the cauliflower stands flat on the counter. Slice the cauliflower head in half down the center top to bottom. One at a time, set each half onto its cut side. Starting from one end of each half, slice crosswise to create 1/2-inch-thick slices. This will yield 3 to 4 cutlets from the center of each half, with the small ends being chunks. The chunks can be prepared as the cutlets, or reserved for another use. In a shallow bowl or pie plate, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, 3 tablespoons of water and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. On a sheet of kitchen parchment, combine the cornstarch with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, stirring the mixture with a fork to combine. On a second sheet of parchment, combine the panko with the cheese, stirring with a fork. One at a time, coat the cauliflower cutlets (and trimmings, if using) on both sides with the cornstarch, knocking off the excess. Next, dip each in the egg mixture, coating them on both sides and letting the excess drip off. Finally, coat them with the panko mixture, patting the Now it's time to brown crumbs on well. Set aside.

In exhibition, local artist Simon Ho presents a certain period of the past - namely, when his father passed away and when his son was born - as a way of exploring the cycle of fate and rebirth of life.

THURSDAY (DEC 22) Ad Lib - Konstantin Bessmertny

This exhibition presents 34 of Konstantin Bessmertny’s recent paintings, sculptures, installations and mixed media, with the artist choosing not to theme this bustling, humorous visual feast in which he shares his personal musings and wittily responds to different phenomena occurring in society. A resident of Macau since 1993, the Russian artist once said: “I like a critical, sarcastic point of view on a subject. I prefer to take on a serious subject as a comedian rather than as a politician . . . Our duty as artists is to do as much as possible to influence bureaucrats and rich people.”

Time: 10am-7pm (no admission after 6:30pm, closed on Mondays) Until: May 28, 2017 Venue: Macau Museum of Art Gallery of Special Exhibitions 2/F / Av.
