Roasted Cauliflower Salad with Radicchio, Pecorino, and Fried Capers
- 1 large or 2 small heads cauliflower, cut into bite size florets
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- 3/4 cup capers, patted dry
- 2 radicchio trevisano, cut into chiffonade
- 1/2 cup aged pecorino, shaved
- 1 bunch chives, cut into 2-inch lengths
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Add the cauliflower florets to a large bowl.
- Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss.
- Transfer to a baking sheet and roast until the cauliflower is very brown and crispy, about 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven to a large bowl and reserve.
- Coat a large saute pan generously with olive oil.
- The oil should be about 1/8-inch deep.
- Heat the pan over medium-high heat.
- When the oil is hot, add the capers.
- As the capers cook they will open up and start to look like little flowers (very cute).
- Fry the capers until they are crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove the capers from the pan, dry them on paper towels and season with salt immediately.
- Toss together the cauliflower, capers, radicchio, pecorino, and chives.
- Dress the salad with lemon juice, olive oil and salt, to taste.
- Divide between 4 serving plates or arrange on 1 big platter and serve.
- What a lovely salad!
