SIDE DISH: CARAMELIZED CAULIFLOWER
Purple Kale, Brussel Sprouts, Sorrel, Currants, Pine Nuts, Red Quinoa, Red Onion, Borage Blossoms, Citrus Marigolds, and Lemon Vinaigrette
HOW-TO: CARAMELIZE CAULIFLOWER
First, cut cauliflower into evenly sized pieces so they cook at the same rate. In a hot sauté pan, add about an 8th of an inch olive oil. Then add the cut cauliflower, season with salt and pepper, and give it a couple of good tosses. Once the salt, pepper and oil is evenly distributed, let the cauliflower sit for 45 seconds or so before tossing again. This allows for a nice deep caramelization and adds complexity to the cauliflowers natural flavors.
