Here, we present a Sicilian take on cauliflower, which takes roasted cauliflower and ups the ante with an array of mouth-watering Mediterranean ingredients.
The savory tastes of onion, tomato, garlic, red pepper and parsley combine beautifully with sweet golden raisins and tangy vinegar. Chickpeas and toasted pine nuts add heartiness and texture. Packed with vitamins, phytonutrients, fiber and good fats, this dish gets high marks for nutrition.
But it’s the compelling flavors that will make your family and friends ask for it again and again!
