ROASTED CAULIFLOWER
Cauliflower is an excellent blank canvas. You can steam or blanch it to keep its essential flavors intact, but by roasting or sautéing it, you can bring out its sweetness. Cauliflower will absorb the oil and seasoning, soaking up flavors much the way eggplant does. But it remains firmer. Roasted cauliflower can be served warm or at room temperature. It can be part of an antipasto of roasted vegetables. Or an accompaniment to a roast chicken or lamb. And though they aren't obvious choices, scallops and lobster, both naturally sweet themselves, are delicious with roasted cauliflower.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place cauliflower in a large mixing bowl. Pour on enough olive oil to coat (a few tablespoons). Season generously with salt and pepper and toss gently until evenly coated.
- Lay cauliflower pieces out on a baking sheet. Drizzle any remaining oil from the bowl on top. Bake, turning once, until caramelized on edges and tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, as a side dish. You can also sprinkle it with a very good aged vinegar. Or, cut florets into smaller pieces and add to salads.

Tips:
- Choose the right cauliflower: For the best results, select a head of cauliflower that is firm and white, with tightly closed florets. Avoid heads that have brown or yellow spots, as these may indicate spoilage.
- Cut the cauliflower into even florets: This will help them cook evenly. You can use a sharp knife or a food processor to cut the cauliflower into florets.
- Steam the cauliflower until tender: This is the best way to cook cauliflower for this recipe, as it helps to preserve its nutrients and prevents it from becoming mushy. You can steam the cauliflower in a steamer basket over boiling water, or you can use a microwave steamer.
- Make the deviled sauce: While the cauliflower is steaming, you can make the deviled sauce. Simply combine all of the ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
- Combine the cauliflower and deviled sauce: Once the cauliflower is tender, add it to the food processor or blender along with the deviled sauce. Pulse until the cauliflower is evenly coated with the sauce.
- Serve immediately or chill: You can serve the deviled cauliflower immediately, or you can chill it for later. If you are chilling the cauliflower, be sure to cover it tightly to prevent it from drying out.
