Cauliflower

Candied Red Onion

Tangerine Vinaigrette

Method

Cauliflower

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Preheat your wood-fired oven or grill to a high temperature (around 450°F/232°C). Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Season the Cauliflower

    Drizzle the olive oil over the cauliflower florets, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

  3. 3

    Roast the Cauliflower

    Place the cauliflower directly on the grill or in a roasting pan and roast for about 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly charred, turning halfway through.

Candied Red Onion

  1. 4

    Slice the Onion

    While the cauliflower is roasting, thinly slice the red onion.

  2. 5

    Cook the Onion

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced onions and sugar, stirring frequently until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.

  3. 6

    Add Balsamic Vinegar

    Once the onions are caramelized, stir in the balsamic vinegar and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the liquid has mostly evaporated.

Tangerine Vinaigrette

  1. 7

    Mix the Vinaigrette

    In a bowl, whisk together the tangerine juice, honey, Dijon mustard, and olive oil until well combined.

  2. 8

    Season the Vinaigrette

    Taste the vinaigrette and season with salt and black pepper to your liking.
