CAULIFLOWER STEAKS WITH CAPER BUTTER
These cauliflower steaks make a great side dish but are meaty and substantial enough to be the main event on your plate. (As an entree, the recipe serves 2.) Melting a compound butter on top is a classic steakhouse move. Make double the butter, roll it in parchment, twist the ends and freeze it, then slice off pats to flavor fish or steamed rice.

Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, put a baking sheet on it and preheat to 450 degrees F. Cut the cauliflower through the core into 1-inch-thick steaks. It's fine if some of the end steaks break into florets; just cook them along with the rest.
- Put 2 tablespoons of the butter on the hot baking sheet, return the sheet to the oven and let the butter melt and bubble, about 30 seconds. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and tilt to coat it with butter. Arrange the cauliflower steaks and any stray florets on the baking sheet. Roast until the bottom of the cauliflower is dark brown and almost tender (a knife inserted in the steaks should meet a little resistance), about 12 minutes. Generously sprinkle the cauliflower with salt, flip with a spatula, sprinkle with salt and continue to roast until the cauliflower is tender, about 10 minutes more.
- While the cauliflower roasts, mash the remaining 4 tablespoons butter with a fork in a small bowl. Mash in the parsley, capers, caper brine, lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon salt and one grind of pepper. When the steaks are done, transfer them to a serving platter or individual plates. Dollop some compound butter on top of each steak and scatter any stray florets around them. Serve hot.
CAULIFLOWER PICCATA
Piccata sauce - that buttery, briny combination of lemon, butter and capers, silky in texture and tart in flavor - is not just for chicken or swordfish. It's also a zesty anchor for roasted vegetables. Here, cauliflower is roasted at high heat, which concentrates the flavor, adds nuttiness and encourages caramelization, before being doused with the sauce. Chickpeas make this a fuller vegetarian meal, but leave them out if you'd rather. Piccata dishes are often served with long pasta, which tangle with the tangy sauce, but this one is also great alongside rice or tender-crisp vegetables like blistered green beans. While you are at it, try this sauce with sweet butternut squash, charred broccoli, earthy roasted carrots, golden wedges of cabbage or crispy slices of tofu.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the cauliflower florets onto a sheet pan and drizzle with 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with kosher salt and black pepper, and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until the cauliflower is golden and tender. Remove from the oven, add the chickpeas, if using, and toss to combine.
- Heat a medium skillet to medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the shallot, and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute longer, stirring constantly to keep from scorching. Pour the stock into the pan and simmer until reduced by half, about 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low, then stir in the butter, capers, lemon zest and juice. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt and a few turns of black pepper.
- To serve, place the cauliflower and chickpeas, if using, on serving plates. Top with the lemon-caper sauce. Top with parsley and serve with lemon slices.
ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH CAPER BROWN BUTTER
Turn boring cauliflower into a delicious side when you top it with a caper and garlic brown butter. I like to cut my cauliflower into slices instead of florets, so there is more flat surface area for roasting and the topping doesn't slide off.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Trim off the bottom of the cauliflower stem to create a flat surface. Place cauliflower head onto a cutting board with the stem side facing down; cut the cauliflower vertically into 1 to 1 1/2-inch thick slices. Remove any tough stem pieces. Cut the slices into smaller pieces, about the size of florets. Place on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
- Roast in the oven for 10 minutes; flip pieces over and roast for 10 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, cut butter into 4 pieces. Melt in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until butter begins to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Butter will foam up, then subside. The butter should have a nutty aroma. Stir in garlic and continue stirring for 15 to 20 seconds. Add in capers and lemon pepper. Remove from heat.
- Spoon brown butter over the roasted cauliflower and serve.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Scatter the cauliflower leaves into a small roasting tin, then sit the cauliflower in the middle. Rub over the butter, sprinkle with some salt and roast for 20 mins.
- Reduce the temperature to 160C/140C/gas 3 and cook the cauliflower for 20 mins more, basting with butter. Add the oil, capers, parsley and lemon zest and juice to the hot butter and spoon over the cauliflower a few times before serving - it will soak up the dressing flavour. When you're ready to serve, cut into wedges and serve with the crisp leaves.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH CAPER LEMON BUTTER
Steps:
- Position racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and heat to 400°F.
- Mound the cauliflower on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Use your hands to mix and coat the vegetables evenly with the oil, and then redistribute in a single layer. Repeat with the brussels sprouts on a separate baking sheet, using the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and another 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Place the pans in the oven and roast the vegetables, stirring and rotating the pans after 10 minutes or so, and continue to cook until tender and golden on the edges, 10 to 15 minutes longer. (Depending on the size and shape of your vegetables, the two may require different cooking times.) Transfer the roasted vegetables to a large bowl.
- Put the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add the shallot and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are translucent and aromatic, about 2 minutes. Add the capers and thyme and cook for 1 minute longer. Remove from the heat and stir in the honey, lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice. Drizzle over the vegetables and toss to combine. Taste and season with more salt or lemon juice as needed.
- Serve right away or keep at room temperature for up to 1 hour.
ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH LEMON ZEST, PARSLEY, CAPERS, AND JALAPEÑO
Roasted cauliflower has a nutty, sweet flavor that's hard to resist. My son has eaten it two or three times a week since he was three years old-that's a lot of cauliflower! To avoid a rut, I've added various flavors over the years, brightening the dish and spicing things up. The truth is, Jivan prefers the tried-and-true classic: EVOO, sea salt, and pepper. But for the grown-ups in my life, I've come up with this parsley, lemon zest, caper, and jalapeño combo. Just toss it with the cauliflower when it comes out of the oven-and don't forget to put some plain florets aside for the little ones.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with the oil, season generously with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Roast the cauliflower, tossing the florets halfway through, until they are deep golden and crispy, 30 to 35 minutes total.
- While the cauliflower is roasting, use a vegetable peeler to peel 3 strips of zest from the lemon. Cut each strip crosswise into very thin slices. Cut the lemon in half, reserving one half and storing the other for another use.
- Transfer the roasted cauliflower to a serving bowl. Top it with the parsley, capers, jalapeño, and sliced lemon zest. Squeeze the mixture with the lemon half and drizzle it with more oil. Toss to coat all of the ingredients, and sprinkle with a pinch or two of the flaky salt.

- Note: This recipe works best if you measure everything ahead of time and set it beside the stove. With everything ready to go, the recipe goes pretty quickly.
- Steam the cauliflower according to your preferred method (see here for tips on using the Instant Pot). You can slice the cauliflower into “steaks” or just use the florets. (Note: As you can see in the photos, I sliced my whole head of cauliflower into two large “steaks” and then chopped the remaining cauliflower into florets.)

- Peel any leaves off the head of cauliflower. Turn the cauliflower over so the stem is facing up. Carefully “core” the cauliflower with a knife, slicing out the the thickest part of the stem and leaving all of the florets connected. (See photos above.)
- Rinse the cauliflower under cool water and place it stem down in a colander to allow it to dry before roasting. If not roasting right away or for maximum drying (the more dry the cauliflower is, the better it will brown), transfer the colander to the refrigerator. Refrigerate for at least an hour and up to 2 days.
- Brush the bottom of a cast iron skillet or Dutch oven with some cooking oil (to prevent sticking). Place cauliflower in the pan. Drizzle the cauliflower with olive oil and use your hands to spread it over the surface of the cauliflower. Season with salt and pepper.
