Cauliflower and Capers

A simple and beautiful side dish.

Ingredients
1 large cauliflower, stem removed and washed
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 small lemon
2 tablespoons capers

Cauliflower
Preheat over to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
Evenly coat cauliflower in 2 tablespoons olive oil.
When oven is at 425 degrees, place cauliflower on middle rack.
Bake for 40 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the cauliflower.
Remove when florets are light brown and crispy.
Test the stalk with a fork to make sure it is soft enough for your liking.

Dressing
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons olive oil and the juice from 1 small lemon (or 1/2 of a larger lemon).
Add capers to the dressing. Stir.
Pour olive oil, lemon, and caper dressing evenly over cauliflower.

Serve whole.

Helpful Hints:
1) Goya brand capers (in the international aisle) are the most affordable capers in the store.
2) Cauliflower is available locally at many farmers markets well into the winter months!
