Roasted Cauliflower with Tomato
and Green Olives

 

 

Wonderful roasted flavor combination...
 

1 head 

 

cauliflower, stem trimmed, cut into 2-inch florets

 

¼ cup 

 

olive oil

 

 

 

kosher salt

 

 

 

freshly ground black pepper

 

2 cups 

 

quartered and thinly sliced onion

 

1 tsp 

 

chopped garlic

 

1 tsp 

 

coarsely chopped fresh oregano

 

½ cup 

 

pitted and sliced green olives

 

1 cup 

 

seeded and diced tomatoes

 

1 Tbs 

 

chopped fresh parsley

 

 

1

Preheat oven to 450°F.

2

Toss cauliflower in a bowl with 2 Tbsp. of olive oil, ½ tsp. salt, and 1/8 tsp. black pepper. Spread out in a single layer on a cookie sheet and roast until the cauliflower is just tender and lightly browned, about 20 minutes.

3

Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until it is lightly browned but still has crunch, about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic, oregano, olives, ¾ tsp. of salt and ¼ tsp. black pepper; cook a few seconds until the garlic is fragrant but not brown. Stir in the tomato and parsley, cook for 30 seconds, and remove from the heat.

4

When the cauliflower has finished roasting, return the tomato-onion mixture to high heat, toss in cauliflower, and sauté quickly to combine and heat through. Serve hot or at room temperature.

*Restaurant Quality- would make it again. 
"My husband is not a huge cauliflower fan.  I am- so I'm always trying to find recipes that he'll eat!  He absolutely LOVED this recipe.  I think it was the roasting of the cauliflower.  It brought out a different flavor.  The addition of the green olives was good too.  I used the canned green olives rather than bottled.  I'll definitely be making this one again."
