My best friend Sam is always guiding me to the best podcasts around, when she found the Dinner Sisters she knew it would be the perfect match for me - Food, recipes and practical cooking tips. I love it! 

Have a listen and see what you think.

Today's recipe is their take on a Cauliflower salad.


Ingredients

1 head of cauliflower
Olive Oil
3 Tablespoons fresh, soft breadcrumbs
1 1/2 Tablespoons of butter
3 Tablespoons whole almonds
Salt & Pepper
2 Tablespoons of raisins
1 Tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 Tablespoon of capers, rinsed and drained
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (either parsley, coriander, or tarragon or a combination)

Method

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius

Chop the cauliflower into florets, toss with olive oil.  Sprinkle salt and place on an oven tray.
Roast for 30-40 minutes tossing halfway through, until tender.
In a fry pan dry roast almonds for 10 minutes tossing constantly to prevent them burning.
Remove and place on a chopping board, roughly chop into pieces.
In the fry pan melt 1 Tablespoon butter and add breadcrumbs toss until golden and crunchy.
In a small pan or use the microwave, combine the raisins, white wine vinegar an 1/2 Tablespoon of butter.
