Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 head cauliflower, trimmed into medium bites
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup white wine
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1/2 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon saffron threads
1 stick unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
Fresh cilantro leaves, for serving
Sriracha, for serving

Steps:

  • For the cauliflower: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Combine the cauliflower, olive oil, garlic and salt in a large bowl. Place in an ovenproof skillet or rimmed baking sheet and roast until golden and tender, about 20 minutes.
  • For the saffron beurre blanc: Combine the white wine, cream, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice in a medium skillet over medium heat. Bring to a low simmer, then add the salt and saffron. Slowly whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, to emulsify into a sauce. Pour the sauce through a strainer and set aside.
  • Arrange the roasted cauliflower on a platter. Place the cilantro around the cauliflower. Dot with sriracha (more or less to your taste). Drizzle with a few tablespoons beurre blanc (extra beurre blanc will keep in the refrigerator up to 2 days).
