Caramelized Cauliflower with Almonds and Raisins
A sweet way to eat more cauliflower, an anti-inflammatory superfood
Ingredients
- 1 cup golden raisins
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 head cauliflower, cut into 1/2-inch florets
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Place the raisins in a small bowl. Cover with hot water and soak for about an hour. Drain.
- Heat a small skillet (dry) over medium heat. Add almonds and toast, stirring frequently, until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower and cook WITHOUT STIRRING for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn cauliflower over and caramelize the other side in the same way. Cook until cauliflower is crisp-tender and edges are golden brown. Add raisins, almonds, parsley, salt and pepper. Toss well and serve immediately.
Notes
Almost all of the sugar in this recipe comes from the raisins. If you want to eliminate some of the sugar, reduce the amount of raisins. The saturated fat is coming from the coconut oil.
