Ingredients

Roasted cauliflower

  • 1 small head cauliflower, cut into florets (1 1/2 lb.)
  • 2 Tbs. olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (2 tsp.)

Vinaigrette

  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 3 Tbs. olive oil
  • 2 Tbs. balsamic vinegar

Preparation

1. To make Roasted Cauliflower: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss together cauliflower, oil, and garlic on large baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Spread cauliflower in single layer on baking sheet, and roast 20 to 25 minutes, or until florets are browned on edges, turning occasionally.

2. To make Vinaigrette: Place raisins in heat-proof bowl or measuring cup, and cover with 1 cup boiling water. Let stand 15 minutes, or until softened and plump. Drain, and reserve 1/4 cup soaking liquid. Blend raisins, reserved soaking liquid, oil, and vinegar in blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Serve Roasted Cauliflower drizzled with Vinaigrette.
