ingredients

1 large cauliflower head, leaves removed and cored
3 sprigs fresh sage, divided
1 small onion, diced
1 head of garlic, sliced in half horizontally (skin left on)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
¹⁄₄ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₄ teaspoon pepper
¹⁄₃ cup blue cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely sliced

directions

Preheat the oven to 425°F Place the cauliflower, stem side down, in a large saucepan with 1/2-inch of water and cover. Bring to a simmer at medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow cauliflower to steam 1-2 minutes more, until tender.
Meanwhile, finely chop 1 tablespoons sage and set aside. Put remaining sage sprigs, onion and garlic in a roasting pan and drizzle with olive oil. Place the cauliflower on top. Combine the butter, nutmeg, salt and pepper and spread over the cauliflower. Roast in the top third of the oven for 25-30 minutes, until the cauliflower is golden.
Transfer the cauliflower to a serving platter. Squeeze the roasted garlic into the roasting pan and discard the skins. Add the reserved chopped sage and mix with the roasted garlic and onions. Spoon the mixture around the cauliflower and garnish with cheese and chives. To serve, cut the cauliflower into wedges, and top with the spoonfuls of the onion and garlic mixture.

I am a 56 year old Gramma that, for the first time in my life, has purchase myself a computer, and I didn't know what i was missing!! I have a husband tha I adore, and 4 grandchildren that of course surpass all others - lol - I am disabled, and am an at home person, so I have a lot of time on my hands, to play with my recipes, and I am enjoying every bit of it - My husband will eat anything that I cook, so I have carte blanche as far as that goes, so I have a great time trying out new recipes. Paula Deen has published some of my favorite cookbooks, her recipes are easy and quick to do. Her sweets are fantastics, especially her pound cakes, Yummm I guess the dish that I am famous for is my Christmas ham - my family all comes home for Christmas, and if i don't have my ham they are dissapointed, and my grandson wants the pistachio squares!!! so I guess that is the dishes that I'm famous for.
