There are some beautiful cauliflowers showing up at the farmer's market now and they sure make for a gorgeous meal. This is a fairly easy side dish that tastes as good as it looks. (I threw in couple pieces of leftover broccoli I had if you're wondering what the green is.) Get any combination of white, purple, pale green or yellow cauliflowers.
2-3 Tablespoons EVOO
4 cloves of garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 head worth of organic cauliflower florets, chopped
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
1/4 cup golden raisins
10 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
Put the EVOO, garlic and red pepper flakes in a large saute pan and heat over medium heat. When garlic starts to become fragrant, add the cauliflower and saute about 10-12 minutes, stirring, until slightly browned. Add the pine nuts and raisins and saute another minute. Season with salt and pepper and toss in the basil leaves. Serve immediately.
