Romanesco with Green Olives and Capers Recipe

• 1 large or 2 medium heads romanesco or cauliflower (about 2 pounds)
• 3/4 cup brine-cured green olives, pitted
• 2 tablespoons capers
• 4 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley leaves
• Grated zest of 1 lemon
• 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• Kosher or sea salt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 4 large cloves garlic, peeled

1. Cut the romanesco into small florets and soak in ice water to cover for 20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, chop together the olives, capers, 3 tablespoons of the parsley, and the lemon zest.
3. In a small pot, heat the oil and red pepper flakes over medium-low heat until hot.
4. Remove from the heat and stir in the olive mixture, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the lemon juice.
5. Set aside.
6. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
7. Drain the romanesco, drop it into the boiling water with the garlic cloves, and cook the florets until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
8. Drain well.
9. Chop the cooked garlic with the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley, place in a large bowl, add the florets and olive-caper dressing, and toss well.
10. Taste and adjust with salt, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice.
