Instructions
 

Roast Cauliflower

  • Preheat the oven to 400℉.
  • Chop the cauliflower into bite sized floret. Place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle very lightly with olive oil and kosher salt. ( there will be plenty in the sauce)
  • Place the try in the oven and roast until edges are crispy and golden about 20-25 minutes. Transfer on to a platter. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Tonnato sauce

  • While the cauliflower roasts make the sauce: In a food processor, combine the 1/4 cup of olive oil with the drained tuna, lemon juice, black pepper, anchovies, capers and mayonnaise. (I don't add salt, tuna, mayo, caper, anchovies are enough salty, check before adding g to suit your taste).
  • Process until smooth. Scrape the tonnato sauce into a serving bowl, cover and refrigerate. Makes about one cup.
  • Drizzle or serve alongside the roast cauliflower. enjoy!!!
