Cauliflower

Avocado Salsa

Pepitas

Method

Prepare Cauliflower

  1. 1

    Roast Cauliflower

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and tender.

Make Avocado Salsa

    In a bowl, mash the ripe avocados. Add finely chopped red onion, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Prepare Gastrique

    Make Gastrique Sauce

    In a small saucepan, combine chopped Fresno peppers, yellow bell pepper, sugar, and vinegar. Simmer over medium heat until the peppers are soft and the mixture thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Blend until smooth.

Toast Pepitas

    Toast the Pepitas

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add pumpkin seeds and salt. Toast, stirring frequently, until golden and crunchy, about 5-7 minutes.

    On a serving platter, arrange the roasted cauliflower, add a generous scoop of avocado salsa on top, drizzle with amarillo gastrique, and sprinkle toasted pepitas over. Serve warm.
