Roasted Cauliflower With Pickled Onion And Yogurt Sauce
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 1 3/4 cups red onion sliced into very thin rounds (use a handheld slicer)
- 1/2 cup dried currants
- 2 large heads cauliflower (each 2 lbs.)
- 1/4 cup grapeseed oil
- About 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup sugarcane vinegar* or 1/4 cup Champagne vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon grated garlic (use a Microplane)
- About 3/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
- Make pickled onion: In a medium saucepan, heat sugar, rice vinegar, 1 cup water, and the salt, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves and mixture is steaming. Put onion and currants in a nonreactive bowl and pour liquid on top. Let stand at least 2 hours (chill, covered, if longer than that, up to 1 day).
- Make cauliflower: Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Break cauliflower into small florets and set on a rimmed baking sheet. Toss with oil and season with salt (pan will be full). Roast until golden, 45 to 50 minutes.
- Make yogurt: In a medium bowl, whisk yogurt, vinegar, garlic, and salt to taste.
- Spoon yogurt onto one or two platters and spread thin. Arrange cauliflower on top. Using a slotted spoon, lift onion and currants from liquid and scatter over cauliflower. Sprinkle with cilantro.
- *Find brands of sugar cane vinegar (a mild, sweet-tasting vinegar) such as Datu Puti Sugarcane Juice Vinegar at Asian markets and amazon.com. Or substitute a bit less of Champagne vinegar.
- Make ahead: Pickled onion and currants, up to 1 day, chilled.
