Steps:

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH PINE NUTS AND RAISINS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425ºF. Core the cauliflower heads and cut into florets. Place on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with 2 Tbs. of the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast, turning once, until just tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 Tbs. olive oil, the vinegar and lemon juice. Season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper and stir in the raisins. Transfer the warm cauliflower to a serving dish and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Sprinkle with the parsley, lemon zest and pine nuts. To marry the flavors, let cool to room temperature before serving. Serves 8. Variation: Capers or pitted and chopped green olives can be substituted for the raisins. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes is a welcome addition for anyone who likes spicy food.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH DATES AND PINE NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Evenly spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the oven and roast, tossing once with a spatula, until golden brown at the edges, about 20 minutes.
• Put the butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Once it's melted, add the pine nuts and cook, stirring frequently, until they're lightly golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and dates and continue cooking until they're softened, 2 to 3 minutes more; season with salt.
• Transfer the hot cauliflower to a serving bowl, drizzle the pine nut mixture over the top and toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Spread the cauliflower on the baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss to coat. Spread cauliflower evenly on the baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, tossing once, or until browned and tender.
• Meanwhile, toast the pine nuts (1/4 cup) carefully in a medium, dry skillet over medium heat. Keep an eye on them- they are easy to burn! Once they begin to turn fragrant and have a light brown color, add the raisins (1/4 cup), remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and lemon juice to the skillet. Cook for about one more minute on very low heat, or until raisins have softened and plumped a bit.
• Turn off heat and stir in the parsley (1/4 cup) and lemon zest.
• Toss the roasted cauliflower with the pine nut and raisin mixture. Serve immediately when it's warm, or allow to cool to room temperature so the flavors marry a bit. Add more salt and pepper if necessary.
