Roast Cauliflower With Caper Dressing Food

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH CRISPY CAPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Toss the cauliflower in a large bowl with 1/3 cup oil and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper until well coated. Spread out onto 2 rimmed baking sheets. Roast until tender, stirring once or twice, about 30 minutes.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the capers and cook just until they burst and crisp, about 1 minute. Evenly pour over the cauliflower, add the parsley and toss to coat. Season with additional salt and pepper.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH HERB-CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Position 2 oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Cut the florets off of the cauliflower heads and cut into 1/2-inch pieces; put into a large bowl. Add 1/3 cup of the olive oil and toss to coat. Spread the florets out evenly on the 2 prepared baking sheets, without overlapping, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper between the two baking sheets. Roast the cauliflower until charred in spots and tender when pierced with a knife, 22 to 24 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the capers and garlic in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the parsley, scallions, lemon zest and juice and continue to pulse until the leaves are coarsely chopped. With the machine running, pour in the remaining 1/2 cup olive oil and process until the mixture forms a loose pesto--like consistency. Season with a pinch of salt to taste.
• Transfer the cauliflower to a serving platter and the herb-caper sauce to a small serving bowl or ramekin. Serve the cauliflower with dollops of the sauce.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH PINE NUT, RAISIN, AND CAPER VINAIGRETTE RECIPE

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 500°F (260°C). Toss cauliflower with 3 tablespoons (45ml) olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Roast until cauliflower is tender and deeply browned on both sides, about 20 minutes total, flipping cauliflower with a thin metal spatula halfway through roasting.
• While cauliflower roasts, combine remaining 3 tablespoons (45ml) olive oil, vinegar, honey, capers, pine nuts, raisins, and parsley. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
• Transfer cooked cauliflower to a serving plate and spoon dressing on top. Serve immediately.

ROAST CAULIFLOWER WITH CAPER DRESSING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Scatter the cauliflower leaves into a small roasting tin, then sit the cauliflower in the middle. Rub over the butter, sprinkle with some salt and roast for 20 mins.
• Reduce the temperature to 160C/140C/gas 3 and cook the cauliflower for 20 mins more, basting with butter. Add the oil, capers, parsley and lemon zest and juice to the hot butter and spoon over the cauliflower a few times before serving - it will soak up the dressing flavour. When you're ready to serve, cut into wedges and serve with the crisp leaves.
