A spicy Mediterranean style vegetable cooked wood-fired
- 1 small head of cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Salt and black pepper
- 1/3 cup pitted kalamata olives
- 1 lemon, zest and juice
- 1/4 cup parsley
If you are using a grill, outdoor fire pit or wood fire oven prepare whichever cooking source you have or preheat the oven to 425° F.
Chop the head of cauliflower into varied pieces ranging from small to large bite size. In a mixing bowl add the cauliflower florets, olive oil, crushed red pepper flakes, salt and black pepper to taste. Toss the ingredients until everything is evenly coated and seasoned. Transfer to a cast iron skillet or any other oven proof skillet and sprinkle the olives on top. Place on cooking source or inside the oven and cook for 8-10, tender but not mushy.
Zest the lemon over the top, then squeeze the juice from the lemon on top. Finish with the chopped parsley and toss. Serve straight from the skillet.
