Green Cauliflower Gratin

Posted on 17 February 2008 under Main

If you haven’t tried roasting cauliflower in the oven, you’re in for a treat! This simple supper brought together roasted green cauliflower (but any cauliflower will work beautifully), extra-virgin olive oil, salt, meyer lemon juice, halved kalamata olives and pinenuts, topped with a feta cheese sauce.

Wash the cauliflower and cut into florettes. Toss with a little extra-virgin olive oil and salt. Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes, turning half way. Put in a ramekin with halved kalamata olives and pine nuts. Squeeze meyer lemon juice over all.

I created a roux with 1 tsp butter, 1 tsp flour and milk, then added the feta. It stays lumpy but that’s OK. Short on time, just top with feta cheese. Broil for 2-3 minutes and enjoy!
