Roasted Cauliflower with Pine Nuts, Golden Raisins and Dill
When cooking multi-component meals, it's always best to put as much in the oven as possible because unlike sautéeing a vegetable or searing a piece of meat stove-top, the oven does all the legwork for you. This cauliflower is a burst of flavor - salty, sweet, herbaceous, while remaining nutritious. Balaboosta does a similar cauliflower which is blanched, dredged in flour, and fried. This one has fewer steps and does not involve as much oil.
