Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Roasting the Cauliflower

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and trim the stem to sit flat. Rub the cauliflower with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place it on a baking sheet and roast for 40-45 minutes, until golden brown and tender.

  2. 2

    Making the Whipped Feta

    In a food processor, combine feta cheese, cream cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  3. 3

    Preparing the Romesco Sauce

    In a blender, combine roasted red peppers, tomatoes, almonds, olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, smoked paprika, and salt. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  4. 4

    Making the Roasted Red Pepper Butter

    In a small bowl, mix softened unsalted butter with finely chopped roasted red pepper, minced garlic, and salt until well combined.

  5. 5

    Serving

    Once the cauliflower is roasted, let it cool slightly before serving. Serve with whipped feta, romesco sauce, and roasted red pepper butter on the side.
