Cauliflower and Pine Nuts

Roasted Cauliflower and Pine Nuts This recipe came from the web site for "The Chew". Unfortunately for me the original called for currants which are impossible to find in my grocery stores, so I substituted raisins. It was alright but I think just the cauliflower and pine nuts are a stand alone dish and you really don't need the extra sweetness.

Directions

  1. My take on this recipe is that unless you have a super large stove top and a saute pan to match, it will work best in the oven under the broiler with the cauliflower on a sheet pan.
  2. Begin by toasting the pine nuts in a saute pan on medium heat.
  3. Once toasted remove to a bowl to stop the cooking and set aside.
  4. Put the cauliflower into a large bowl with a little olive oil and salt and pepper and toss.
  5. Spread on sheet pan in a single layer.
  6. Place under the broiler and cook until the tops of the cauliflower begin to brown.
  7. Take out of the broiler add the shallots stir to combine and return to the broiler until the cauliflower is golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Add the currants if using, and the pine nuts, vinegar, and honey and stir to combine.
  9. Cook for one or two more minutes.
  10. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
  11. Drizzle a little olive oil on top put into bowl and garnish with parsley and serve.
