Roasted cauliflower & hazelnut salad
Embedded Files
Cauliflower, raw or lightly cooked, is a useful salad ingredient, above all in winter when there isn’t a great variety of fresh vegetables available.
SERVES 2 to 4
1 head cauliflower, broken into small florets (1½ lb / 660 g in total)
5 tbsp olive oil
1 large celery stalk, cut on an angle into ¼-inch / 0.5cm slices (⅔ cup / 70 g
in total)
5 tbsp / 30 g hazelnuts, with skins
⅓ cup / 10 g small at-leaf parsley leaves, picked
⅓ cup / 50 g pomegranate seeds (from about ½ medium pomegranate)
generous ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
generous ¼ tsp ground allspice
1 tbsp sherry vinegar
1½ tsp maple syrup
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 425°F / 220°C.
Mix the cauliflower with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and some black pepper. Spread out in a roasting pan and roast on the top oven rack for 25 to 35 minutes, until the cauliflower is crisp and parts of it have turned golden brown. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and set aside to cool down.
Decrease the oven temperature to 325°F / 170°C. Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 17 minutes. Allow the nuts to cool a little, then coarsely chop them and add to
the cauliflower, along with the remaining oil and the rest of the ingredients. Stir, taste, and season with salt and pepper accordingly. Serve at room temperature.
