Roasted Cauliflower and Broccoli With Salsa Verde image

This recipe came to The Times in 2004, when Julia Moskin wrote a story about the developing culinary culture in McCarthy and Kennicott, two tiny villages in the hinterlands of Alaska. ("Out here, you have a choice," said Mark Vail, a former Air Force cook who lives in McCarthy year-round. "You can live on ramen noodles and baked beans, or you can learn to cook.") Kirsten Richardson, a resident of Kennicott and a cook at the McCarthy Lodge, a local restaurant, developed this brightly-flavored riff on the weeknight vegetable. Just roast the broccoli and cauliflower, toss with a shallot-anchovy vinaigrette and toasted almonds then sprinkle with chopped parsley. It makes a satisfying mostly-meatless main or a delicious accompaniment to roast chicken.

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup whole shelled almonds
1 large head broccoli, cut into florets (about 1 pound florets)
1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets (about 1 pound florets)
10 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided

I'm allergic to nuts, so I had to omit the pine nuts from the salsa verde. It still tasted great!

This recipe is not for beginners. It's a bit too complicated and the instructions are not very clear.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as good as I expected. I think I might have overcooked the vegetables.

The roasted vegetables were good, but the salsa verde was too oily for my taste.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not usually a fan of cauliflower, but this dish changed my mind. The roasting process brings out the cauliflower's natural sweetness and the salsa verde adds a nice tang. I'll definitely be making this again.
