Roasted cauliflower in red spicy sauce. A very easy and delicious recipe that will make you see cauliflower with a different eye. It may be served as a main course but also as a salad.

Roasted cauliflower in red spicy sauce

It’s been about a year since me and cauliflower were re-introduced. Until last year the truth is that what I did was boil it, then add oil, lemon and salt and eat it as a salad. Last year, however, I tried to put it on the grill, after first taking it out of the pot for a while. It even stayed on the grill for quite some time, until it almost burned. This burning created chemical reactions on the surface of the vegetable. Chemical reactions which have a very pleasant effect for our palate as they impart a flavor complexity, a bitterness but at the same time sweetness.

So more or less I moved on this path again this year. After boiling the cauliflower for 2 minutes, it was drained and put in the oven together with carrots and onions. But this time the deliciousness is hidden in the sauce. The cauliflower was embraced by a sauce based on three basic ingredients: butter, olive oil and tomato paste. I also added a little bit of red pepper flakes, but also mint to balance this very pleasant burn.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE RECIPE

The recipe for roasted cauliflower in the oven is a very easy recipe. It is enough to boil the cauliflower for 2 minutes and then spread it along with the rest of the vegetables in a large pan. Pour over a sauce based on butter, oil and tomato paste and put in the oven for about 1 hour. Easy huh? After about half an hour, turn it over so that it is nicely cooked on all sides.
