Roasted Cauliflower, Fennel And Farro Pilaf
- 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 bulb fennel, sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 1.5 cups farro
- 3-4 green onions, white and dark green parts, sliced
- 1 lemon, juice and zest
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon pimente d'espelette
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Toss the cauliflower and fennel with the cumin, pimente d'espelette, turmeric, paprika, nutmeg, olive oil, lemon zest and 1/4 tsp of the salt in a large bowl.
- Spread the cauliflower mixture on a baking sheet and roast until the cauliflower is brown and starting to caramelize on top, about 30 minutes.
- While the cauliflower is roasting, cook the farro: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add farro. Cook until farro is tender but still chewy, about 35 minutes.
- When the cauliflower is done, transfer it to a large serving bowl and stir in the honey. Drain the farro when it is done and add to the cauliflower with the black beans and green onions and mix together.
- Stir the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and lemon juice in a small bowl. Pour over the pilaf and toss together. Taste and adjust for seasoning and serve. This is good hot or warm and I've even eaten it cold.
