Recipe: Golden Cauliflower with Sage
Side Dish Recipes, Vegetable Recipes
Cauliflower, like its close relative broccoli, is one of the healthiest foods on the planet. While it is high in fiber, vitamin C, antioxidants, and calcium, I think my favorite thing about cauliflower is how well it can absorb flavors like the sage in this dish. This recipe is a play on an Italian way of preparing ravioli; only instead, it is made into a side dish by substituting cauliflower in place of the ravioli. The cauliflower, sautéed in butter and sage, actually caramelizes and takes on a wonderful, almost nutty flavor. You can also make this dish with a mixture of regular and purple cauliflower for a really beautiful presentation.
