ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH CAPER BROWN BUTTER
Turn boring cauliflower into a delicious side when you top it with a caper and garlic brown butter. I like to cut my cauliflower into slices instead of florets, so there is more flat surface area for roasting and the topping doesn't slide off.

BROWNED BUTTER ROASTED CAULIFLOWER
When I was growing up, my mother (who insists on loving some of the least popular vegetables) always raved about how deliciously sweet and tender cauliflower can be. Here, the briny capers, lemon juice and sweet raisins allow the caramelized, nutty cauliflower to shine. -Gina Myers, Spokane, Washington

Steps:
- Make Soufflé:
- Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in middle.
- Generously butter soufflé dish, then sprinkle with cheese, knocking out excess.
- Stir together cauliflower, parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and white pepper to taste in a large bowl.
- Melt butter in a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour, then cook, whisking, until pale golden, about 2 minutes. Add milk a little at a time, whisking constantly until very smooth. Bring sauce to a boil, whisking, then simmer, whisking, until quite thick, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and whisk in yolks, 1/4 teaspoon white pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir into cauliflower mixture.
- Beat whites in a bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until they just hold stiff peaks (they should not look dry). Stir a heaping spoonful of whites into yolk mixture to lighten, then gently fold in remaining whites until just combined.
- Gently spoon into soufflédish (leave at least 1 inches of space at top) and bake until golden brown and top appears set, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Make Brown Butter:
- Cook butter in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it turns golden with a nutlike fragrance and flecks on bottom of pan turn a rich caramel brown, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Serve soufflé immediately, drizzling with warm brown butter.
Tips:
- Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is firm, compact, and has a bright white color. Avoid heads with any signs of bruising or discoloration.
- Cut the cauliflower into even-sized florets: This will help them cook evenly. If the florets are too large, they may not cook through properly.
- Roast the cauliflower until it is tender and slightly browned: This will give it a nice caramelized flavor. Be sure to watch the cauliflower carefully so that it doesn't burn.
- Make the brown butter: This is a simple but delicious sauce that adds a nutty flavor to the cauliflower. Be sure to cook the butter until it turns a deep golden brown.
- Make the crispy crumbs: These crumbs add a nice textural contrast to the cauliflower. You can use panko breadcrumbs or regular breadcrumbs. If you are using regular breadcrumbs, be sure to toast them in a pan with some butter before using.
- Serve the cauliflower immediately: This dish is best served hot. You can garnish it with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives.
Conclusion:
This cauliflower with brown butter and crispy crumbs is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. It is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The cauliflower is roasted until tender and slightly browned, then tossed in a simple but flavorful brown butter sauce. The crispy crumbs add a nice textural contrast to the cauliflower.
