ROASTED CAULIFLOWER, RAISINS AND ANCHOVY VINAIGRETTE
Roasting toughens cauliflower and dries it out a bit. With many foods, this description may not sound that appealing, but because cauliflower is often mushy and watery, roasting is beneficial. Here, a (rather strong) vinaigrette is tossed with the cauliflower immediately after roasting, along with the raisins, whose sweetness counters the anchovies beautifully.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Put cauliflower in roasting pan, drizzle with 3 tablespoons oil and some salt and pepper; toss. Roast, turning once or twice, for 15 minutes or so, until cauliflower just starts to soften.
- Meanwhile, make vinaigrette by combining remaining oil with vinegar, anchovies and a little salt and pepper; taste and adjust seasoning. Remove pan, drizzle cauliflower with 2 tablespoons of vinaigrette, and toss. Roast, turning once, until a thin-bladed knife pierces a piece with little resistance, for 15 minutes. (Recipe may be cooled at this point, covered tightly and refrigerated for 2 days.)
- At the last minute, put cauliflower in a salad bowl and add raisins, parsley and remaining vinaigrette and toss. Taste and sprinkle with salt, if needed, and lots of pepper, then serve.
