Pan-Roasted Cauliflower With Pine Nuts, Garlic and Rosemary

"My BF found this recipe in a recent issue of Cottage Living, courtesy of Sara Foster. We both love cauliflower, and this recipe gives it a nice crunch and nutty taste. Another recipe to leave in the oven while you are taking care of the rest of dinner. We cut down the 1/4 cup olive oil to about a tablespoon. Leave it as is if you are not concerned about fat intake."

  1. Even people who don't like cauliflower ask for seconds of this! I used one head of cauliflower, 1/8 c olive oil and about 1 t rosemary. I kept the rest of the ingredients as the full amount in the recipe. Next time I would use more rosemary, but other than that it worked well. I'd never cooked cauliflower for my family because they don't like it. But with this recipe, everyone loved it and commented on how delicious it was! Thanks for sharing!
     
  2. This would be equally good with other vegetables: romanesco, broccolini, broccoflower. Used fresh rosemary from the garden and my own homemade breadscrumbs made out of focaccia, too. Be careful when roasting the pine nuts and garlic. You don't want them to burn! Thanks, Kumquat! cg ;)
     
  3. Makes an excellent side. I left off the breadcrumbs and added grated parmesan.
     
  4. I made this for dinner tonight. While I don't typically care for cauliflower, I enjoyed this. Husband thought it was "okay" and unfortunately, no one else liked it. Guess I know what I am taking to work for lunch tomorrow.
     
  5. This was a really tasty way to prepare cauliflower. I liked the addition of the pine nuts. I think next time I would omit the breadcrumbs, but that is mine and DH's personal preference. Thanks for posting.

<p>Clockwise from upper left, my dear friends Cranberry, Quincy, Kumquat and Kiwi. All of our cats were born in the wild and adopted by us. Zaar Chefs I have met so far: Elmotoo, justcallmeToni, ~Rita~, Midwest Maven, Bird&amp;Buddha (both of them) and most recently, Ms*Bindy from upstate New York:) Wonderful, sweet, friendly people and great chefs! Most relevant thing to mention here is that I am a vegetarian, and recently became a&nbsp;vegan&nbsp;(almost 100%). To put vegetables and other things not meat or fish on the table I work as an actuary (in my case anyway, a combination of statistician, number-cruncher and/or programmer). For fun I like to travel. Just came back from&nbsp;Namibia, a peaceful democracy in Africa with lots of animals! Got some terrific pictures of lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, rhinocerous, hyenas, all kinds of antelopes, giraffes and zebras. Namibia is the second most sparsely populated country per square mile, just behind Mongolia. Update:&nbsp; We went to Italy this Spring.&nbsp; We had lots of pizza and pasta.&nbsp; The pizza is so much better in Italy, particularly the crust.&nbsp; The Amalfi coast was absolutely beautiful.&nbsp; Spectacular natural scenery (Canada and Alaska are really beautiful, Patagonia in Chile is sublime, Iceland is unique) has been my latest passion as far as travel destinations but I have seen quite a few big cities too (Paris, Berlin, London and Madrid to name a few). On my bulletin board at work I keep a list of every country I've visited (other than the U.S. of course). So far I've made it to five continents: Europe, Africa, South America, Asia and North America of course. I've got only two other continents to conquer:) I don't usually have difficulty finding vegetarian dishes here in the U.S. or overseas, but finding vegan dishes is much harder. I have no kids, just cats, Kumquat, Cranberry, and more recently Quincy and Kiwi. They are purebreds, of the breed alley caticus (okay, American shorthair I guess). Our cats are not vegetarians, though my boyfriend (significant other, long-term partner, whatever) is. I am a friend of all animals both tamed and wild. In addition I am a freethinker and my boyfriend studies philosophy. Either way, we get along pretty well.&nbsp; Also, please allow me to say that my BF and I recently bought a condominium in NYC.:)&nbsp; Pet peeve? Okay, I don't like public scenes, especially parents yelling at their children, lovers' spats, etc. If it must be done please do it in private:D Participation &amp; Awards:</p>
