• Bake in oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until edges are golden.

KALAMATA OLIVE TAPENADE

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine all the ingredients except the cherry tomatoes. Pulse until all ingredients are well combined. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Slice cherry tomatoes in half. Very gently, with a melon baller, scoop out the seeds from each half. Place a teaspoonful of the tapenade in each tomato half. Garnish with chervil.

CAULIFLOWER STEAKS WITH RED PEPPERS & PESTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 Degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and rub with 1 tablespoon oil.
• Cut the cauliflower into 1-inch slices from top to bottom, keeping the pieces together through the stems and reserving florets that fall off. Transfer to the baking sheet along with the pepper and arrange in a single layer. Rub all over with the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Roast, carefully turning the cauliflower steaks once, until a paring knife pierces easily through a cauliflower stem, about 25 minutes. Dollop the pesto and red pepper on top and serve hot.
