WHOLE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH PISTACHIO PESTO
Whole roasted cauliflower is a sight to behold and never fails to delight, especially when it's topped with a verdant blend of herbs and pistachios. This version delivers a browned cauliflower that ends up soft enough - custardy almost - to serve with a spoon. And it all comes together in one pan, with water added right to the skillet to steam and soften the cauliflower while it roasts over caramelized onions. Sprinkling some Parmesan on top is a nice way to finish this dish.

Steps:
- Make the cauliflower: Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat oven to 400 degrees. Trim the cauliflower, making sure the stem is cut flush with the head so it sits flat. Heat a 10-inch cast-iron or other heavy ovenproof skillet on the stove over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil, the onions and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until translucent and turning golden on the edges, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in 3/4 cup water and remove from the heat.
- Rub the cauliflower with the remaining tablespoon oil then with the pepper and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Clear the center of the skillet and place the cauliflower in it. Cover the pan tightly with foil and place in the center of the oven. Bake until a paring knife meets no resistance when inserted into the cauliflower, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the pesto: Reserve a bit of lemon zest for garnish. Place the rest in a food processor, along with the herbs, oil, pistachios, garlic, salt and pepper. Pulse until well combined.
- Turn oven to 450 degrees on the regular setting or, if you have a convection option, 425 degrees. Uncover the cauliflower and baste with some of the pan juices. Cook, basting occasionally and adding 1/4 cup of water to the pan if it threatens to dry out, until nicely browned, 20 to 30 minutes more. Spoon the pesto over top, sprinkle with reserved lemon zest and more herbs, and serve.
ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH PESTO
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°. Cook the cauliflower: Heat a medium oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat until the oil shimmers, then add the cauliflower florets. Season with the sea salt and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for 3 minutes, then use a spatula to flip over the cauliflower florets. Return the skillet to the oven and roast until the cauliflower is tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the cauliflower to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain, then turn the florets out into a large bowl. To the cauliflower, stir in pesto. Serve the cauliflower sprinkled with the chopped cilantro, the 1 tablespoon of cotija and the lime juice.

- Using a high powered blender or food processor, grind the pistachios until finely chopped. Alternatively you can do this by hand with a knife, but it will take longer. Mix the ground pistachios with 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Add 2 teaspoons of olive oil and mix until well combined. The oil will help the crumbs stick to the cauliflower and keep them from burning in the oven. Set aside.
- Bring 8 cups of vegetable broth + 6-8 cups of water to boil in a pot large enough to fully submerge your cauliflower upside down. Add the whole lemon with its juice and 2 teaspoons of salt. Once boiling, submerge the cauliflower in the water upside down and boil for 11-13 minutes until a knife inserted into the core meets only a little resistance (not soft, but nearly cooked). Transfer the cauliflower to a colander face up and let sit for 15 minutes to dry.
- Place the cauliflower in a roasting pan and rub it all over with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 teaspoons lemon juice. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and garlic powder. Press the pistachio crumbs all over the top and sides of the cauliflower. Place in the oven on the middle rack and roast for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and turning golden brown. If the crust starts to get too dark, cover it lightly with a piece of foil to keep it from burning.
