Cauliflower With Raisins image

Who knows how long ago I picked up this free recipe in the produce section at the grocery store? Regular flame raisins were substituted for golden raisins.

Categories     Cauliflower

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup sherry wine (NOT cooking sherry)
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (white or dark)
2 tablespoons pine nuts (pignoli)
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Soak the raisins in the sherry for 15-30 minutes.
  • Dry roast the pine nuts in a skillet and set aside.
  • In a saucepan, cook the cauliflower florets in a steamer basket over boiling water, for approximately 3 minutes.
  • In the same skillet you used to toast the pine nuts, heat the olive oil over medium heat and saute the garlic. Be careful not to burn!
  • Once garlic is lightly browned, add the cauliflower, raisins, sherry, and balsamic vinegar. *Cover skillet, and reduce heat to simmer.
  • Cook for 3-5 minutes until cauliflower is fork tender but NOT mushy. *Another option is to increase heat to medium-high and brown, rather than simmer the cauliflower/raisin mixture.
  • Transfer to serving bowl and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper if desired. Garnish with any remaining cooking liquid and toasted pine nuts.
