• 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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with the oil, season generously with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Roast the cauliflower, tossing the florets halfway through, until they are deep golden and crispy, 30 to 35 minutes total.
• While the cauliflower is roasting, use a vegetable peeler to peel 3 strips of zest from the lemon. Cut each strip crosswise into very thin slices. Cut the lemon in half, reserving one half and storing the other for another use.
• Transfer the roasted cauliflower to a serving bowl. Top it with the parsley, capers, jalapeño, and sliced lemon zest. Squeeze the mixture with the lemon half and drizzle it with more oil. Toss to coat all of the ingredients, and sprinkle with a pinch or two of the flaky salt.

• Toss the cauliflower with olive oil and salt and place in the oven. Roast the cauliflower for 20 minutes.
• While the cauliflower is roasting, puree the capers, garlic, vinegar, and parsley in a food processor. While the machine is running, drizzle in 1/4 cup olive oil. Taste and season with salt, if needed.
• Toss the roasted cauliflower with the vinaigrette and sprinkle with the raisins.

OVEN-ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH GARLIC, OLIVE OIL AND LEMON JUICE

Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately while still warm.

CAULIFLOWER WITH LEMON-CAPER BUTTER

• Cook 1 head chopped cauliflower in a steamer basket set over simmering water until tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Cook 3 tablespoons butter with 4 teaspoons capers, 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 mashed anchovy fillet in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until the garlic is soft, 6 to 8 minutes. Toss the cauliflower with the butter mixture, some chopped parsley and the zest and juice of 1/2 lemon. Season with salt and pepper.

ROASTED RED PEPPERS AND CAULIFLOWER WITH CAPER VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Toss cauliflower with 1/4 cup oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl, then divide between two 4-sided sheet pans. Roast cauliflower, turning it and switching position of pans halfway through, until just tender and browned in spots, about 20 minutes total.
• While cauliflower roasts, whisk together lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large serving bowl, then add remaining 1/2 cup oil in a slow stream, whisking. Finely chop about 1 tablespoon capers, then whisk chopped and whole capers into vinaigrette. Add warm cauliflower and peppers and toss to coat. Serve at room temperature.

• Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and sizzle the capers and garlic until golden. Stir in the orzo, cauliflower, lemon zest and juice and the stock. Bubble for 1 min, then spoon half into a bowl and top with the rocket. Leave the leftovers to cool for the lunchbox, see tip below.
