Sardinian cauliflower with anchovies and black olives

I have recently discovered I love cauliflower. Although I knew about cauliflower and thought it was an okay vegetable, I didn’t realise how many different ways you can serve it!

We all know about pairing cauliflower with a white sauce – it’s good, but I guarantee combining cauliflower with something spicy will take your cauliflower to the next level. Try cauliflower in an Indian curry, or with red capsicum and coriander in a Thai dish. It is seriously mouth-watering.

My friend Loets is my cooking partner in crime. We regularly schedule cooking dates to experiment with all kinds of dishes. Recently, Loets came with a recipe for cauliflower that she learnt from her Sardinian father. It’s a different take on cauliflower and you’re going to love it! The cauliflower is cooked whole and flavoured with anchovies, black olives and flat parsley. Take a bite and you'll be looking transported to the beautiful Italian island of Sardinia in the Mediterranean Sea. I haven’t been there yet, but with my vivid imagination and these amazing flavours, I can picture it.

Are you curious about how to combine this cauliflower with Italian? I like to serve it with a pasta. Pasta pesto, pasta puttanesca with a meat sauce... it can be served in many ways. Enjoy!
